Vitamin D is one of those very basic vitamins. You can get it free from the sun. That may explain why we get fewer colds in the summer... then the winter as we absorb the sunlight each day. Having large amounts of Vitamin D in our system, allows us to absorb other vitamins like A, B and C. Lacking vitamin D in your system may also mean that you are not absorbing the equally important C.... and infections. Enjoy the sun and get your Vitamin D.

They then checked my level. I think it was up to 50 they were happy and told me to just continue taking 1200 mg of calcium and 800 mg of vitamin D per day. I am a 51 year-old woman, and my last bone scan did show that I had osteoporosis. So in addition to the heavy-duty vitamin D for 12 weeks, I also had to take reclast. It is a once a year IV med for osteoporosis.

The lab my doctor uses has the normal range at 30.0 to 70.0 (ng/mL), my level is like 20 or 25 ng/mL. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have been taking 1200 IU's of D-3 a day for a month, I get it re-checked this week. Tim c5-c6, 21 yrs. post http://www.whoopiekat.com/CrocksCrib/index.htm
