High dose Ergocalciferol (Vit. D-2) for Osteoporosis?
Since losing my long time primary doctor last year, I am on my second doctor for advice for osteoporosis. I was reluctant to take Prolia recommended by the first D.O. doctor and the second Internist Doctor recommended 50,000 (I think IU) weekly for a couple of months. I haven't picked up the prescription

Dental question
I now have Osteoporosis and take Prolia along with prescribed Calcitriol and
ErgoCalciferol
and numerous vitamins. My concern now is dental related. After spending thousands on my teeth, I am in need of a 7-tooth bridge preceded by 3 implants and bone grafts in 3 weeks.

Do You Need More Vitamin D In The Winter? 4 Reasons To Consider
In general, I recommend 2,000 IU of vitamin D per day; look for supplements that provide D3 (cholecalciferol) rather than D2 (
ergocalciferol
).

Vitamin D
While some foods — like fortified dairy, egg yolk, beef liver, and fatty fish like salmon and canned tuna — can help you get vitamin D2, or
ergocalciferol
, direct sun exposure can help you get your fix of vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol.

Rx Vit D Ergocalciferol and K2 MK7
My doc rx 50,000 once per week of vit D2
ergocalciferol
. How much K2 MK7 do I need to take with this huge dose to protect my kidneys? I’m reading about potential side effects after reading that some people had vit D toxicity after high rx doses.

Vitamin D2 or D3??
She prescribed me
ergocalciferol
which is vitamin D2. My vitamin D levels are rising but very slowly. As per usual, I am researching my condition, because of the lousy Docs and have come across several articles suggesting that D3 is the better vitamin D to take.

Ever wonder why Vitamin D helps some of us and why the incidence of RLS is much lower in the tropics and higher in cloudy England?
In the trial, a single oral dose of
ergocalciferol
100,000 IU was given to 7 healthy subjects (4 men and 3 women); mean age was 42 years (range, 27 to 63 years). Measurements of serum hepcidin were taken at baseline and at 24 and 72 hours.
