I got you all beat- a few years ago mine was off the chart low-
measured zero. After supplementing for some months it was up to 25.
Then I got the 2000IU tablets, and take those daily, all the time. I
have not retested, since I just keep taking it. I take D2-since the
only D3 I can find is allergenic for me. I am glad to hear how long it
took you to get it within reason. I read the article by that doctor
saying that 10,000 IUs a day is not too much for those of us living at
the 45th parallel, over the whole winter.

My doctor had mine tested a year and a half ago just on a whim and
mine was 8. He almost croaked but suggested I take 800 IU. I came
home and read up on the problem and started taking 3,000 daily and
had it retested in 3 months. It was still super low so he suggested
I take 1,500 so I stated taking 5,000.
It took one year to get it up to 30 which he thought was great but I
know that's still way too low.
I was shocked because we live on a farm and I have always been out
doorsy.

Right after joining this group someone posted how important Vitamin
D3 was to our health. My daily vitamin wasn't going to cut it during
the flu season so following suggestions I ordered some for myself
and smaller dosage for the kids.
I've been taking 2000IU daily for over 3 weeks. Today I got results
from my physical blood test on Vit D and it was 25! The doctor
called in a prescription for 50,000/week.
Does Vit D take time to build up or was I simply not taking enough
do you think?
I also wanted to say thanks to those that had the Vit D discussion.
I would not have thought to check otherwise.
