Vitamin D question

My Dr. would like me to take two 50,000 IU capsules of Vitamin D3.

Could I take this in 1 day or should I take them on two seperate days?

Thank You.

I'm by no means anywhere close to an expert, but my Spidey senses are saying take them on different days-skipping a day between.

I agree with Audrey.  Space them out a bit.

Why not ask the doctor?

Great!  Remember, while there is a LOT of good info on this site, there is always the problem of getting uninformed opinions about a lot of stuff.  

What works for one person may or may not work for another.  We all have to take care in experimenting with our health.  That's why your surgeon or PCP is a vital part of your team.

When I had low D. I did ONE high dose capsule (mine were turquoise blue) per week.

You need ot call the pharmacist.  I believe too much D at once can be toxic.
