"if I click followers in my community is that everyone on this site?"

It means your thread is only visible to members of this particular thyroid forum. Even if they follow other Health Unlocked forums, they would need to be a follower of this forum to read your complete thread.

You have to find your maintenance dose by trial and error. What is your current level of Vit D?

Have I misunderstood? Do you mean when you write a post to start a new thread?

gcart. I get confused about the followers and how to find people to post messages to them and stuff. All I know about your followers is that I am one of them. The vitamin D council recommends 5,000 iu a day to maintain vit d status in northern hemisphere. It is also recommended by them that you take vitamin K2 along side. Better4u do a stray and nutri do drops containing both.

Hi Gcart

My vit D level was 9 and my endo prescribed vitamin D3 drops 20,000 i.u once a week. He set the minimum target at 100 nnomols. Hope that helps. Once at target a maintenance dose is set .

GCart,

1,000iu is 25mcg. It should maintain vitD around 76. Personally I would want vitD 100-150 and if you want to do that you need to increase to 3,000iu for 6 weeks then reduce to 1,000iu daily.
