Vitamin d levels more than 100ng/ml

[Arvindkrao]

Hi,

I was taking vitamin D supplements for 2 months when i was deficient (10ng/ml) . I started getting pains and twitching and tested again and found out that its now 109ng/ml. Which according to doctor is more than normal.

I was wondering how much time it would take to make it normal if i dont take any vitamin D at all through food or supplements or sunlight? I dont have any problem except these masculer pains. I am also planning to take low calcium diet. I will talk to Doctor about this.

Everyone is individual - so the D level may go down quickly or if you are fortunate - slowly ! What dose were you taking ? Maybe a good idea to reduce to a maintenance dose to keep you topped up if appropriate !

Muscle pains - how is your B12 ? Sometimes nerve endings can be affected by low B12.

..don't forget to also take VitK2 - so the additional Calcium that is produced ends up in the right place - your teeth and bones. Not in your bloodstream

[Arvindkrao in reply to Marz]

My vitamin B12 were low but now there are on right track. Lets see how its goes. Will wait for a month to see if it goes away by taking some vitamins.

[Marz in reply to Arvindkrao]

...what level are you aiming for ? B12 needs to be at the top of the range and Sally Pachlok says around a 1000 to prevent cognitive decline :-0

[Arvindkrao in reply to Marz]

Its only around .214

[Marz in reply to Arvindkrao]

Gosh that is VERY LOW ! What are you taking ?

[Arvindkrao in reply to Marz]

Sorry i have corrected it. Its 214.

[Marz in reply to Arvindkrao]

How much B12 are you taking ? Anything under 500 can be the cause of neurological symptoms....

Did you manage to look at the website I posted earlier about B12 ? - lots to read and learn

[Arvindkrao in reply to Marz]

I looked at it. i am taking combinations (Ascorbic Acid/Vitamic C,Calcium Pantothenate,Folic Acid,

Niacinamide

Pyridoxine

Riboflavin

Thiamine

Vitamin B12

Biotin)

from 2 weeks. It has improved.

[Marz in reply to Arvindkrao]

If that is a B Complex then there will not be enough B12 in it !

[Arvindkrao in reply to Marz]

I will talk to my doctor about it. She will prescribe another. Otherwise i will take something over the counter after consulting her.

[Arvindkrao in reply to Arvindkrao]

Its 15mcg i think.

hi Marz how much vitamin is safe to take?

my doctor told me to take it . i am having muscule twiching

[Marz in reply to lahainaKat]

Are you referring to B12 ? Depends how low you are. Jarrow Methylcobalamin do lozenges in 1000mcg and 5000mcg. Keep them under the tongue until they dissolve. Also take a GOOD B complex to keep all the"B''s in balance. One with Folic Acid which works with the B12 in the body to hold it there longer....

[Arvindkrao in reply to Marz]

I am taking 1000mcg now but not sublingual. Should i change it to sublingual?

[Marz in reply to Arvindkrao]

Avrindkrao -It's better absorbed that way if you have low stomach acid or absorption issues....

[lahainaKat in reply to Marz]

sorry marz, i really meant vitamin D

[Marz in reply to lahainaKat]

...dose lahainaKat according to your results. 4/5000 IU''s are suggested as a good maintenance dose....

My endo was very happy with my D3 level at 104. To much D usually results in headache, stomach pains, nausea and suppressed appetite because of calcium build up. Doesn't sound like your symptoms.

[Arvindkrao in reply to Angel_of_the_North]

Yeah, thats what i am thinking. I have only muscle pain thats all. Even no doctor has been able to find out whats the problem except i had Vitamin D deficiency which is fine now.Everything in blood test was normal.

[Clutter]

Arvindkrao, 50ng/ml is optimal, 109ng/ml is in the possibly toxic range. As a rule of thumb levels halve every 60 days when you stop supplementing. There's no need to change diet or avoid sunlight.

The main consequence of vitamin D toxicity is a buildup of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause poor appetite, nausea and vomiting. Weakness, frequent urination and kidney problems also may occur. Treatment includes the stopping of excessive vitamin D intake.

[Arvindkrao in reply to Clutter]

Yes for me according to my age it should be 100 at max. but it is toxic. But doctor said not to worry. if it halves every 60 days as you say then it should come in normal range within a week or two at max. Thats seems hopeful

[Clutter in reply to Arvindkrao]

Arvindkrao, it should come in normal range about 60 days after you stop supplementing.
