vit d result… advice needed please

[Honeybee66]

just received result of Vit D back, gone up from 62.2 in sept to 76.1 dec.It says adequate but the range is 50-220.

i currently take 5 drops vit d3/k2 in black hempseed oil sublingual & hey nutrition magnesium complex with added zinc & vit d3 25ug .

How do i increase my Vit D3 … i think seaside susie offered to advise me once i got an updated test result.

help greatly appreciated😀

Your current result suggests that you need 4,000iu D3 daily to achieve the recommended level of 100-150nmol. Do you take Natures Provides D3/K2, if so it seems that your total D3 at the moment is already 4,000iu. As it is winter it wouldn't hurt to increase to 5,000iu daily and retest at the end of March to check your level to see if you cam reduce it during the summer months.

hi yes i take nature provides 5 drops daily of d3/k2. Should i get an extra supplement to top it up or just take a few more drops instead?

Thanks for your reply.

Just take more drops, you can work out how many drops equal what you need (remember to take into account the D3 included in your other supplement, 25mcg = 1,000iu).

Did you get 25mcg increase in levothyroxine yet

Bloods should be retested 6-8 weeks after each dose change or brand change in levothyroxine

Come back with new thyroid test results when you get them

i am currently taking 75mg levo and was due to see endo next week but it has been cancelled. Now due first week jan so will get blood results then. I will be sure to post and i am going to ask him to increase my dose to 100mg. Not sure how he will react, he thinks my levels on 75mg were ‘ideal’.

Thanks slow dragon.
