Vit D absorb

Hello,

Can weight loss surgery patients absorb Vit D3?  I have been taking 4000mg of Vit D3 for a year and my levels are still low.  I am 9 years post-op.

Any idea's??

Thanks,

Robin Allen

 We absorb it best as "dry D3."  Some suppliers  will charge through the nose but I get good results with the tablets (NOT the gel caps full of oil) from Nature Made or any of the other mass market brands.  

I take 6000 in the winter and 4000 in the summer in addition to the D in my calcium citrate tablets.  My numbers are consistently in the low end of normal.  Again, look in te bottle and only take the little white tablets.

Thanks for the input and I wll try dry Vit D

ARe you taking Dry Vitamin D3? Rny patients cant absorb the ones made with
oil. I use Proterra Brand.
Try increasing your dry D3 to atleast a 5000iu 2x daily.
