Vit D

Hey guys,
How much Vit D do you now take and which type??  I take 2 Vit D3 1000 i.u., plus another "1000 D" in my multi vit.
Thanks!!

I take a combined 4000 IU of D3 daily. Some of it is in my multi, some in with my calcium and 2000 IU separately. I'm being monitored by an Endocrinologist and she feels I'm maintaining my Vitamin D level well with that dose.

Every Saturday morning I take one Vitalady Tender Dry Vitamin D3-50 50,000IU.

I take Vitalady dry D3 5,000 units/twice/day for 10,000 IU. This is in addition, to what is in my calcium supplements. Sometimes, I'll use Bariatric Advantage liquid drops for 10,000 IU/day.

My last Vit D level was 89 in March,  and the bariatric internist thought that it was fine. It will be interesting to see, where my level is, when I have my one year labs drawn in the near future.

I get 1000 in my calcium and another 400 in the multi vitamin. Tested perfect on this. Diane

1000 2x day plus whatever is in my calcium and daily vit

Hi Vic.  my doc has me on  500 mg (oyster shell).  Two tablets a day.

I take VitaLady's Tender Dry 50,000IU twice a week. Plus whatever is in the Citracal Petites (I aim for 2400mg calcium so I don't know how much D that gets me).

My D was horrible pre-op (7!) and at 3 months it was only at 30 so I have a ways to go. We'll see what the latest labs are and then I'll adjust accordingly. Osteoporosis runs in the family so I'd like to avoid that as much as possible.

Thanks everyone for your replies :)  Such a wide variety of experience.  Thanks for sharing!  Have a wonderful day!!

I take Vitalady's dry D3 10,000 every day plus whatever is in my multi and calcium.  I've been on this for 2 years now and my level has only gone from 49 to 81.  It's a slow process.  But at least it's in a much better range.
