Poet Kelly or other Vit expert
So I got a call last week from my dr's stating that my vit d was 19. I know very bad. So he called in D 2 to take one 50,000 IU once per week. So that means that I will take 2 before my surgery. I ordered Dry D3 but how much should I take and how often to get my level up to a normal range?
TIA

Did you order the D3 50 from vitalady? She is very quick with shipping so it should be there very soon.
Don't waste your time with the D2. I don't know how well it is absorbed pre op but it definetely won't do any good afterwards.
When my D was very low I took one dry D3 50,000 iu daily until it got back up. Now it is doing pretty good and I am having my labs done soon to see if I need to add anything or cut back.

It's not absorbed well pre-op either.
Well, it's actually a matter of, we have to convert D2 to D3 in our bodies and it takes a whole lot of D2 to make a little D3, and that's true pre-op as well as post-op.

You ordered the 50,000 IU dry D3, right? Good for you. You're on the ball.
Take one every day.
Yeah, I know that seems like a lot more than what your doc recommended. But you need your D level at least 80, according to the Linus Pauling Institute.
Take one a day for a couple months, then get your level tested again.
