In reply to Can D3 supplements alter body´s production?, posted by Franz on April 28, 2008, at 9:29:03
Hi there. I haven't posted for years, but this post came up on my email and I have some relevant information. I have been taking 2000iu of D3 daily for three years now, after my daughter was diagnosed with depression and it turned out to be vit D deficiency. I've also made an effort to see the sun a lot more. My vit D levels three years ago before I started taking the supplements were 51nmol/l, after three years of taking what are considered 10X the normal dose as well as becoming less sun avoidant, my level is now 71nmol/l. The best levels are meant to be 100-150 nmol/l and by my reckoning at this rate I won't get there for another 9 years... Check out the vitamin d council website for lots of excellent info about dosages etc. It's very hard to overdose!!!! I think the only record of an overdose was some guy who took 40,000 iu a day for a month or something. But check out this website: it's REALLY worth reading some of the things on it.
