Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Taking vitamin d is not nearly as effective as getting outside into the sunshine and letting your face and body make it. And it is exactly what one needs. Of course, taking it is far more convenient, and perhaps necessary, for those of us who just don't want to go outside, or can't for some reason or another.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 The Vitamin D3 from Utopia Silver is about as good as it gets when it comes to price and the by-far preferred type of Vitamin D. When you use our group discount code of LR001 it costs a mere $5.53 per bottle of 100 tablets of 5,000 iu Vitamin D3. oleander soup , "luvusam1" <luvusam1 wrote:>> Can you tell me what brand of Vitamin D would be best and most inexpensive?

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks, Tony. I am wondering, is it true as someone has stated on this forum that the Vit D3 is absorbed better in liquid form? Thanks, Jill~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Rose, My M.D. tested mine last year and it was 8. He was very alarmed and told me to take 800 IU of D3. I started taking 3,000 IU and had it tested 6 months later (Jan. 2009). The nurse called and said it was still very low. She seemed to be confused about the whole results of that and my thyroid levels. When I asked the number of the reading she said she couldn't tell. It is very irritating to pay all that money and not be given the correct info. Anyway she said to double what I was taking because she thought it was 800 so now I am taking 5,000 daily. I'll go back in June and have the whole thing redone. I think this doc quoted 24 as being low but can't be positive because of my aggravation...LOL Edith In a message dated 5/17/2009 4:04:02 P.M.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Life Extension I believe have effective products that are well formulated and cutting edge. They are constantly researching which is excellent and have a wonderful magazine that I throughly enjoy and always have something in them to learn from. They have a VitaminD3 product in 5000IU (only 1 cap to take). I take one a day and have tested over and over in the 70-80 range for Vit D on my blood tests.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Interestingly, I have found every fNHL patient on our large list (over 500) deficient in Vitamin D unless they are supplementing at higher doses than most allopathic DR's would recommend. (5,000 i.u and upwards) Some very good information, studies, and the best educational videos I believe available are all located on a site called Grass Roots Health. A little burrowing down at this web site will open a treasure trove of Vitamin D information. You can even Vitamin D-25 Hydroxy test (best test) at home and join me in a 5 year study. http://www.grassrootshealth.org (no affiliation) The Site and Study is sponsored by University of California (San Diego) and 18 MD's/ Scientists aiming to rid the world of Vitamin D deficiency.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Rose. I have read somewhere that 35ng/ml. doctors called normal is the low part of the range, you can go up to 55- 60ng/ml. to be consider healthy by natural pactitioners.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Just to add a little to the vitamin D 3 20 minutes to half hour at noon, than not to shower for 48 hours, giving the vitamin D a chance to soak in, it you do shower, only use soap in the pit areas, and your hands. Another tid bit to go along with D 3 don't take regular vitamin a take Beta Carotene with Vitamin D 3 Richard In a message dated 5/17/2009 9:02:05 P.M.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Dr Sherri Tenpenny has put together a nice collection of info on key points around Vit D use, effectiveness, types, sources, dosages (incl infants, preg etc) and more in a document just uploaded in our files: http://health.ayurvedaHERBS%2C%20SUPPLEME\ NTS%2C%20SPECIAL%20NEEDS%20PERINATAL/ This author is curious if there is any Ayurvedic commentary on this, and not at all surprised at the value of time in the sun.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 That is a great run down about Vit D. I believe Dr. Mercola said optimum levels should be 35-55 ng/ml and she says 50-80ng/ml. I'm recently at 83 and have been taking 4000IU per day. It's still a little confusing but we're zeroing in. My dr. ordered me to reduce the amount I'm taking saying 30-80 is normal. But since it is cold/flu season and the toxicity level is so high, I'm going to continue my current dosage since I'll be getting less sun. The toxicity part is still confusing too.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Have you seen a difference with your clients, Suzanna? thanks for this. I " ve some drops, but was mystified how much to use and it seems one of those kind of alterative effects, you dn't notice dramatic changes. Though one of my students feels significant difference for her health which is fragile. Kudos, Vicky, for bringing up your immune protections so well. So - something that is so good for the immune system must have some effect on ojas it seems.....? Im curious the mechanism.
