Thanks Lani....I've been very interested in D3 and find it's findings very promising. I just had my D3 levels checked and they came in at 39. The range is 25 - 80. I'd rather be closer to the 80 mark. I've discontinued taking my calcium as I worried about getting to much of that BUT have increased my D3. I now take a little over 5000 i.u. of this "wonder drug" and will have my levels checked again as I don't want toxicity to occur ALTHOUGH I don't feel that amount would do it.

Any more information you have to share on D3 and amounts I'd appreciate.

As always Lani - THANK YOU! You invaluable to us.
