I found it took me about 6 months to fully get the vitamins etc up to scratch. It I did feel improvements along the way so it may take you a while to feel better. Don't give up!

It's on

Hi I am now taking 3000 per day because it has taken me 9 months to just increase by 19 taking 1000 and then 2000 per day. Some on here take huge amounts to increase quickly to optimal levels it's up to you really. I just take Vit d 3 tablets with K2 which helps. The K2 I take is fermented soya called Netto.
