If your Vit D is low, are you supplementing? What was the actual result?

Sorry, I can't comment on your thyroid test results as I'm not au fait with how results should look when on NDT.

What is very low? When tested I was severely deficient at 15 nmol/L. I supplemented 40,000iu daily for a two or three weeks then dropped to 5,000iu daily, it brought my level up to 200 within a couple of months. I now supplement 5,000iu daily Monday to Friday only and my level is 150.

Total Vitamin D :

Status: 24.3 nmol/L DEFICIENT

Interpretive Guide:

(25-hydroxyvitamin D3 : 21.5 nmol/L, 25-hydroxyvitamin D 2 : 2.8 nmol/L)

Obviously I need some supplementation as it is well below 50 nmol/L so i take 4000IU a day

Thanks Marz!

I think given it is so low you could supplement higher, 10,000 a day.Unless you are exposing lots of akin at midday, without burning, in the sun. You make 20,000 Iu a day doing this, so long as you don't shower after (!!)

Also take VitK2 to direct improved levels of calcium to the bones and teeth. Not good to leave it in the arterial system :-)

Sorry for the late reply. One study quoted on vitamind3uk.com, which is run by the very expert Oliver Gillie, found it took six months at 4000iu to get subjects up to 44ng .. Try a month at 10,000iu and ask for another test. Then don't forget to take a maintenance dose, unless you are getting out a lot in midday sun. And in sept in the uk you can hardly make d3 in the skin, and that's true for the next six months, so we all need to supplement over winter here. Unless we eat v high amounts of fish and meat perhaps.

Thanks Aspmama!

Still dont know whether to up my dose of thyroid or not?

Cheers

in reply toCrunchieeagle

I'm not an expert on results, but if you up your dose of ndt your tsh is going to go under the range I think, so if there is a gp involved they will be alarmed.

It's interesting that the t4 is so low in the range.. maybe wait till you get your d levels nice and high, and see what symptoms you are left with then. You might find you feel fine on the current dose.

If u see what I mean.

Not what you're looking for?
