Re: Wondering

Dawn,

Sorry to be so late answering your post.

I have been taking two 2000IUs daily of vitamin D3. I take 630mg of calcium citrate with 500IUs of vitamin D3 twice a day.This consists of two pills. I take 400mg of magnesium three times a day.

I have learned from others on this board that the Vitamin D3 needs to be taken with some type of oil due to it being an oil soluable vitamin. Sometimes, I take a teaspoon of olive oil when I only eat raw vegetables to get the oil. So, I usually take these vitmains when I am eating. I wish I could find the magnesium in liquid form, but I have not been able to.

The magnesium makes me sleepy at night after I take the last pill of the day, which is a big help.

When I had my vitamin D3 checked in September, it was 42. I got it up to 42 in March and dropped back down to 1000 IUs daily and it dropped back down to 27.
