FWIW, I belong to many health related email lists, and I've seen umpteen
posts from people with low D, taking varying amounts of varying
supplements. The common thread seems to be that D is slow to raise for
almost everyone across the board. I've not yet seen anyone who actually
improved D levels iwth low level supplementation (less than 5000 IU per
day). I've also seen people who had IV vit D and it did get their
levels up, but once they stopped the high dosing, either IV or oral,
their levels dropped faster than they had raised.
Other nutrient affect D levels, such as vit A. I've read a lot that
carotene supplements don't work well as the conversion in the body to
active A is quite low. And most MDs and many health gurus are scared to
death of anyone taking real vit A in doses that might actually work,
LOL. A is necessary for many processes in the body, including conversion
of T4 to T3 (T3 is the active thyroid hormone), and that is one of the
processes for which carotene is not effective, it has to be the active
vit A (from Nutrition Almanac v.3)
It often is the case that taking one supplement alone without making
sure one is also not deficient in the supporting nutrients just doesn't
work well, and can even make related deficiencies worse.
