I just got some of my annual lab work back and it showed my VItamin D level was very low... It was 15 and I guess the doctor said it should be over 30. so in addition to taking the Vitamin ADEK, they want me to take 50,000 IUs of Vitamin D a week

My other vitamin levels were okay.. anyone else take that much vitamin D?

No but you may want to drink extra milk if you can because that is loaded with vitamin D. Plus you can spend some time in the sun with out sunscreen. Don't stay out too long. My doctor also thinks that using a tanning bed might help the vitamin D levels too but that is not proven. Yes, this goes against the American Cancer society but I do all of the above and my vitamin d levels are pretty good.
