Vitamin D

[twizzle303]

Hello all, I think I remember shaws posting a paper about vit D sometime ago, and I apologise if it was one of the other administrators, but I failed to save the post.

I would be very grateful if this could be reposted or I could be pointed to the original? I ask because I have been taking quite a high dose, 10,000iu a day and have had horrendous crippling leg pains which, after a bit of google research, might be down to the vitamin D dosage.

As I also take other supplements I wanted to check which might be the cause. I have stopped all except my magnesium at bedtime and felt better within a couple of days.

Many thanks one and all

We post regularly on here that it’s important to test vitamin D before starting on any supplement and to retest twice year when supplementing

Different people need different amount

Some people only need small dose ….400iu or 800iu

Taking too much vitamin D is not a good idea
