Hi Garnet,
I've been a big proponent of Vitamin D lately. It seems like all kinds of research is coming out that demonstrates how ridiculously low the RDA is.
There is one thing about it that does kinda scare me, though. I've seen numerous references that cite high doses of Vitamin D as a risk factor for kidney stones. What I don't know is how high a dose is required to have this effect. At any rate, I've cut back a little bit on my dosing until I have a chance to have my levels measured. I would continue to having your levels monitored as well just in case.
Here is one of the references I mentioned:
