Taking 50,000 IE's of Vitamin D at one single dose helped my sleep
immensely. I decided this was safe to do after reading the site
www.cholecalciferol-council.org , not all of it, but especially the Oct.
2005 newsletter. All the newsletters probably should be read before
making a decision and there you will find the source for the high dose
'stuff'. I no longer sleep 20 min. and then wake up--over and over all
night long. And I sometimes sleep for quite a long time without any
interruption at all. Good sleep sure makes a body feel good!! Best wishes
for you and your Mother. pj ps Before deciding to take the high dose,
I took several 1000 ie caps at a single dose and noticed that it helped
sleep some, but mainly, I just felt better. I get quite a bit of sun and
don't intend to take more of the D until I get a blood test for it done.
And I will
get the one recommended on that site above.
