Other than possible added fatigue, i personally have never noted any effect from vitamin d supplementation, even though my latest results are quite wierd.
My latest levels were a bit of a paradox:
25-hydroxy vitamin D was 50 something.
1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D was 280 something.My psychiatrist gave the results to me over the phone, so I don't have a copy of my own yet, but he said the first one was listed as insufficiency, and the second as well above the upper limit. I was supplementing 5000 IU every day when I remembered for about a week or two, continuing from what I had been rx'd the last time I took vitamin d but was too lazy too refill and forgot about it. (Initially, I had no detectable levels of 25(OH)D.)
He doesn't know what to suggest from observing the results, but I guess I should go see my GP or naturopath? I have discontinued the vitamin d supplementation now. It still seems wierd since 5000 IU isn't necessarily that high a dose and seems quite common, and especially since I am still "insufficient" in 25(OH)D stores. Could there be something else causing this I should be worried about?
When the numbers are all perfectly normal, can I expect some benefit in terms of physical and mental energy and cognitive clarity?
