daily vitamin check in
Oh, yeah.
A lot of us here use the 50,000 IU D3 from vitalady.com. You can by 5000 IU, 10,000 IU, and I think maybe 2000 IU.
1000 IU is not real helpful for us. RNY patients nearly all need at least 5000 IU a day, most seem to need 10,000 IU. I'm basing that on the many patients I've spoken to about their labs and how much they take. I have never talked to a single patient that could maintain a level of 80 or above (what we need for good health) on less than 5000 IU a day.
Some people prefer taking the bigger doses less often, though. Like instead of 5000 IU a day, taking 50,000 IU once a week.
