I had been reading up on Vit D supplementing the other day, and now
I wished I kept this one article. Will do a search. If I can find it
again, will post the reference.
It stated that safe levels for supplementing are: 1000 IU per 25
pounds of bodyweight.
I take 6000 IU daily, if I don't forget. No need to panic now. There
will be plenty of time to do that afterwards ;)

Oh for goodness sake--what is going on? Now I have increased mine
and hubby's levels to 4000 units per day and this article says you
can actually be worse! Has anyone (Brooks-help!) *anything* that
can dispute this, because I am rapidly coming back to the opinion
that I should stop ALL supplements. And I've just sent off for the
ultrasonic cleaner too! Damn! dee

luckily my doctor made me get the 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test
and a vitamin B-12 test. I was astounded when my vitamin D level
was 14. So, the next summer it was 55, then last February it was
46. I'm not taking less than I was last year, but I've not been
able to sit in the sun as much, I guess. I'm thinking about
calling the doctor's office back and asking the nurse to make sure
she read it right. She was stuttering around about the date, then
she just said it's normal level. I said I need to know the number,
so she came up with 25.

the Blue Cross/Blue Shield agreement, I'm sure. It's not cheap!
