Q. I feel I may be vitamin D deficient, and I am taking 5,000 IU daily. How long does it take for this to absorb and return to normal levels within the body?
A. Current recommendations are 35iu per pound - if you weigh more than 143# that is not sufficient for daily needs & does not even begin to address depleted vit.D3 stores.
Vitamin D3 deficiency is becoming an epidemic. U.S. RDA are much too low & the prescription vitamin D supplements are the wrong type (ergocalciferol ). Luckily you can buy vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and the upper limits are extremely high. Current recommendations are for 35iu per pound - a 200# person needs minimum of 7000iu per day & the rda is 400iu. This amount is for minimal needs and does not account for depleted stores. Right now (March) is when our stores are at their lowest.
I personally have been doing 30,000-50,000iu per day for the past month trying to refill my stores. It is highly recommended that you have your vit.D levels tested but my research shows toxicity only at outrageous, long term levels.
Low Vitamin D levels greatly increases your risk of cancer, diabetes, MS & heart attack.

Can someone recommend a Vitamin D3 supplement that has improved their symptoms of deficiency?
Q. I just had labwork and got a letter from my Dr. letting me know that I'm deficient in Vitamin D. Has anyone had any luck with a specific brand of Vitamin?
A. I recommend -
Country Life Vitamin D3 - Medium chain triglycerides
200 - 5000iu $7.22
This is the best pricing I've found -
http://www.vitacost.com/Country-Life-Vitamin-D3-5000-IU-200-Softgels
It's important to take Vitamin D3 with fats & preferably in a fat solution (versus dry powder). The fat is very important because many go rancid easily & Medium chain triglycerides is the most highly preferred.
I have Fibromyalgia -Vitamin D3 supplementation has cleared the constant muscle pain. I did high levels for 3 weeks & was pain free. I knocked the dose down to 2000iu's a day & a week later the pain was back. After restarting high levels, the pain is managed again after 3 days.
I personally did 35,000iu per day (of dry vit.D3 with fats) for 2 months trying to refill my stores. It is highly recommended that you have your vit.D levels tested but my research shows toxicity only at outrageous, long term levels.
I originally did B12 injections daily for a couple of years & then I tried guaifenesin (Dr.St.Amand's protocol) for 10 years but discovered vit.D3 supplementation only recently & that has worked better than anything else!
Vitamin D3 is not a vitamin at all but a necessary hormone that effects the immune system & nearly every aspect of health. Having low Vitamin D levels greatly increases risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, MS (& maybe even FMS)
I don't think that FMS, cancer, MS, etc. is a vitamin deficiency but being deficient can create or greatly exacerbate health problems.
The prescription vitamin D supplements are the wrong type (ergocalciferol ). As warned by the National Institute of Health -
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17023693
Luckily you can buy vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) over the counter and the upper limits are extremely high. Current recommendations are for 35iu per pound - a 150# person needs minimum of 5250iu per day & the rda is 400iu. This amount is for minimal needs and does not account for depleted stores. March is when stores are at their lowest.
Vitamin D3 deficiency is becoming an epidemic. U.S. RDA are much too low. It is possible that upper atmosphere pollution is blocking the needed UVB light from the sun.
I also highly recommend a low carb way of eating to allow the body to regenerate rather than degenerate.

Dr. Joe Prendergast, an endocrinologist /diabetologist has managed over 1500 diabetic patients and, in the last decade, not one of his patients has had a stroke or heart attack. Only one has even been hospitalized! His secret�50,000 units of Vitamin D3 daily. Dr. Joe further reports:
* Reversal of advanced coronary disease
* Reversal of advanced lung disease, avoiding a lung transplant!
* Cure of multiple sclerosis
* Cure of amotrophic lateral sclerosis
* Regression of rheumatoid arthritis
* Improvement in allergies
* Control of many cancers including prostate, breast, colon, brain tumors, leukemia, myeloma, etc
* Reversal of osteoporosis
* Prevention of influenza
* Cure of depression and many other mental disorders
* Hashimoto�s hyperthyroidism
In summary, the evidence for safety and remarkable efficacy of Vitamin D3 suggests that virtually ALL adults should probably take 50,000 units of D3 daily. This is certainly true for those with virtually any illness.

What is the best vitamins for a 23 yr old woman to take? I have a Vitamin D deficiency called Rickets?
Q. I have rickets (a vitamin D deficiency). I need a vitmain that can provide me with Vitamin C,D, potassium, calcium all other major essentials that a woman needs. Also, what about cod liver fish oil, is it any good at treating rickets or vitamin D deficiencies? What about carnation milk in the can is it good for calcium and bones?
A. If you have rickets, you should be under the care of a physician. Depending on your body weight, you should be taking a supplement around 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 every day. Generally, it's 1000 IU per 25 lbs of body weight.
