 I use the same one Lora does

i thought that was only available by prescription. any thoughts on how many times a week i should take it? my doctor told me to get 2000ius and we already established that wont do jack...

No, you can get it a number of places....

What dose might be appropriate really depends on what your D level is at right now...  The 3x per week keeps mine stable in the upper 70s.  (It started out at 9(!), and when it got to 70 I dropped the dose to 3x/wk.)

50K script D is D2, and doesn't work well with RNY post ops. I took these D softegls  once a week for 26 weeks. Had 3 sets of labs and best result was an increase of 8 preop to a 14.  You need higher levels of D3. These higher levels are not commonly available at local phamacies, Walmart, etc. The local varieties tend to be only up to 5K IU.  I get mine from vitalady too.  If you have major D defiencies, I'd start at 3-4 per week (one every other day or so) and then get retested.  At 4 per week, my D was a 65 past October. I've now bumped up my weekly consumption to one per day, or 7 per week. Levels above 80 minimize major cancers and neurological disorders, and greatly aid in protecting your bones by allowing your calcium citrate to absorbed better. DAVE
