Bhul chuk maaf 50 https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/healthy-eating/vitamins-minerals/vitamin-calcium-updated-dietary-reference-intakes-nutrition.html Did the IOM report make recommendations with respect to serum vitamin D levels? There is considerable discussion surrounding the serum concentrations of 25(OH)D associated with optimal health, and cut points have not been developed by a scientific consensus process. However, the IOM expert committee stated that its review of the data suggests that, relative to bone health: People are at risk of vitamin D deficiency (rickets or osteomalacia) at serum 25(OH)D concentrations <30 nmol/L. Some are potentially at risk for inadequacy at levels ranging from 30–50 nmol/L. Practically all people are sufficient at levels ≥50 nmol/L 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhul chuk maaf I think you can increase the figure quite easily. Take 4000 ius daily for a week, and then go down to 2000 ius for four weeks and get retested. I went heavy (4000 ius) for a bit because people had positive covid tests around me. Have you been taking any supplements? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been taking any supplements? I don't think anyone needs retesting their levels if known to be low I know GP's and if someone is deficient (my Mum was in the past), they give them 300,000 units over short time to correct it https://cks.nice.org.uk/topics/vitamin-d-deficiency-in-adults/management/management/ If rapid correction of vitamin D deficiency is needed, for example in people with symptoms or about to start treatment with a potent antiresorptive agent (zoledronate, denosumab, or teriparatide), prescribe a fixed loading dose followed by regular maintenance vitamin D therapy 1 month after loading. The loading regimen should provide a total of approximately 300,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D, given either as separate weekly or daily doses over 6–10 weeks. Maintenance therapy of vitamin D equivalent to 800–2000 IU daily (up to a maximum of 4000 IU daily for certain conditions such as malabsorption following specialist advice), given either daily or intermittently at a higher equivalent dose. Looks like you can take 2,000 -4,000 units safely without a risk of toxicity, long term (unless you have kidney failure or some other diagnosed metabolic problem) https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamins-and-minerals/vitamin-d/#:~:text=Do not take more than,(2%2C000 IU) a day. What happens if I take too much vitamin D? Taking too many vitamin D supplements over a long period of time can cause too much calcium to build up in the body (hypercalcaemia). This can weaken the bones and damage the kidneys and the heart. If you choose to take vitamin D supplements, 10 micrograms a day will be enough for most people. Do not take more than 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) of vitamin D a day as it could be harmful. This applies to adults, including pregnant and breastfeeding women and the elderly, and children aged 11 to 17 years. Children aged 1 to 10 years should not have more than 50 micrograms (2,000 IU) a day. Infants under 12 months should not have more than 25 micrograms (1,000 IU) a day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted January 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 6 minutes ago, Premi said: You could have just taken 4 x 20,000 unit capsules over a couple of weeks I was being careful because I think we need to be wary of calcium build ups (calcium deposits). I know research indicates that may not be an issue with high levels of vitD, but I was being careful. Once you get calcium deposits on your bones, I don't think you can get rid of them. I was taking them like I was because of covid too, and I thought it was better to get a steady stream than a big dose. Remember folks, get some vit k2 along with the vit D. My personal favourite source of K2 is kefir (with milk). If this doesn't agree with you, find another source. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean calcium in blood arteries ? I've heard that's related to coronary heart disease https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/calcification#arteries Over time, calcium deposits can form in the: arteries pericardium kidneys tendons joints brain breasts shoulders teeth pancreas Small calcium deposits are not likely to alter bodily functions. However, if the deposits become very large, they may interfere with organ function or cause other health issues. Depending on the location, calcification can indicate: injury inflammation tissue repair infection cancer Each type of calcification has its own characteristics, management, and treatment, depending on where in the body it occurs and what the cause is. The sections below describe the types in more detail. Artery calcification Artery calcification can start at a young age, but a doctor may only notice it once the deposit is large enough to appear on imaging scans. Detectable artery calcification typically occurs in adults over 40Trusted Source. People with coronary artery disease can have calcification of the blood vessels. This disease develops when the blood vessels that supply oxygen and blood to the heart become blocked or narrowed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted January 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 ensure that calcium is absorbed easily and reaches the bone mass, while preventing arterial calcification. Helping to keep your heart and bones healthy. Separately, K2 regulates normal blood clotting, whilst D3 supports a healthy immune system and supports muscle function. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daas would prefer the former. Bhul chuk maaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
