High-Dose Vitamin D Linked to Lower Disease Activity in CIS

[BettysMom]

High-dose oral cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) supplementation significantly reduces evidence of disease activity in patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), results of a randomized, controlled trial suggest. In addition, cholecalciferol had a favorable safety profile and was well tolerated.

I didn't read the article, but be aware that high doses of vitamin D (50,000 IU) can cause other problems. I was on it for a few months and developed Parathyroid Disease. Now I can no longer take vitamin C or calcium. I do still take 2000 IU (50mg) of vitamin D daily.

I understand why you can't take calcium but why not vitamin C? What problem does it cause?

[Robsmom]

Apparently it also raises my calcium levels. I have high calcium levels.
