Vitamin D

I asked for a Vitamin D test recently and was shocked that it was shockingly low. I do have problems with my parathyroid and osteopenia -- and I do take a good multivitamin which was obviously not enough. What I didn't know is that Vitamin D helps control inflammation. I. too, had to go on Vitamin D therapy and my level doubled quickly (still low) but I noticed an odd improvement. When I was having my teeth cleaned (every 3 months), there was practically no bleeding for the first time. The hygienist noticed of course -- and I realized that the only thing different was the addition of Vitamin D.

First a couple of 50.000 IU and now I take a couple of thousand D3 with each meal. My doctor was telling me that she saw some recent study that was suggesting up to 10,000 IU a day -- but the jury is certainly not in yet.

It was in the news this year, that women that have breast cancer are frequently deficient in Vitamin D. So it seems like normal Vitamin D levels are important. And after I saw my gum health improve, I wanted to increase my levels because I hoping that as an anti-inflammatory, it may be helpful for my lung issues as well.

Hey there




I am the same!! My vitamin D level is just below the normal mark. The docs found out when I was about 18. And at the time put me on a vitamin D supplement called Rocalrol. But now something better has come along apparently called - Colecalciferol.</end quote></div>

You probably know that colecalciferol is Vitamin D3?

When Cheyenne was admitted in Sept. they said her Vit. D was extremely high. I found that weird since she is lactose intolerant. When she was admitted in Dec., they said it had dropped off the chart, so now she is on 50,000 IU's every Monday, along with her ABDEK's.
