Re: Vitamin D Test Results
Hi everyone,
Just an update on my vitamin D lab results. I do live in Alaska, which is a disadvantage sun-wise, but have diligently done limited sun baths at every opportunity, and have been taking 1,400 mg of vitamin D on days when I didn't get any sun (multivitamin content plus 1,000 mg pill). Last year in August (summer sun) I was tested for vitamin D level for the first time and came out at 39. This year despite the added 1,000 mg on dark days my reading is in the low 30's. My NP advised doubling the dose I have been taking in summer and taking at least twice the doubled dose in winter, which I will do.
A.A.
