Please can you tell me what I ought to take in way of vitamin D. Doctor left a phone message. Suggested taking two 20micrograms or 800 units.
I take multivitamin and vitb6 and vit c daily. Is there anything else I need to take to absorb the vit D?
Thanks in advance x
You might find the multi vitamin already contains what you need. Check the label. I'm kind of surprised doc didn't prescribe something specific. My multivit contains 200% RDA. so yours might too. Be wary of buying loads of product and finishing with excess amounts of 1 thing. some vitamins and minerals are easier to overdose on than others.
That is true. I spoke to doc tonight and apparently my level was 39 and the report said deficient. She says the vit D is one of the few you cannot overdose on. She says if after a couple of months my level is still low she will prescribe specifically.
But borderline deficuent
So on the strength of that may I suggest next time in your superstore or High Street Pharmacy, speak to the duty pharmacist. I wouldn't double up on your multivit but you might want an extra Vit D. I had the same as you on script. but loads more to get the levels up. Good hunting 
I have a prescribed Vitamin D supplement with added calcium. I do not know if this is what you need however. It may be beneficial to ring them and ask if you need anything particular in your diet or with the supplement?
All my hopes and dreams for you

My doctor told me that one needed a minimum of 1000i u a day. And it is possible to overdose on a Supplement, but not, of course sunshine. Don't forget there are substances which interfere with the bodies ability to produce vit D from sunlight...have a look on the net, it interesting
