What has your Dr suggested ? I would take 4500 iu's if well tolerated along with Magnesium and VitK2 - MK7.

I come a bit late to this discussion (and I'm unclear as to what sort of visibility a new post to an old thread has). When a recent test gave a reading of 38, the hospital sent around by taxi on a Sunday (!) some 800iu tablets. A few days earlier, my GP had suggested I buy 1000iu. I already had some 400iu and had started taking two of these a day.

Ten years ago, a skin-cancer scare prompted me to take great care in the sun, hence the low result. A while later, I asked my GP practice if a test might be useful, but this is only done if "something appears to be wrong".

I have problems with intermittent fatigue, and yesterday an NHS haematologist was adamant that low Vit D is not a cause. Which puzzles me, as most authoritative websites says that fatigue is a symptom.

Not what you're looking for?
