How much should I be taking per day? I am on valcyclovir and several of the JOH supplements, along with a probiotic and Lauricidin. Thanks!
5000 IU of D-3 per day. Anything less can seldom get your serum vitamin D level above 50 ng/ml, which is the best healthful level. Taking vitamin K2 along with the D-3 is very helpful, as it complements D-3's function. And it keeps calcium from being deposited in arteries (prevents arteriosclerosis). K2 is a crucial D-3 co-factor. --John of Ohio
On a side note - vitamin d3, at doses of 6000 iu, was the only thing that stopped my cluster headaches that occurred like clockwork every day at 2pm.
I also suffer from ibs..besides meniers,,lucky me huh.....and would like to,know if vit d3 at that dose will cause diarreha? I take 1000 iu because i fear taking high doses of anything because of this.
Jade many of us who have MM also have IBS, its not uncommon, I do as well. I take 2000 IU Of Vit D3 a day and I am fine, But I also take a probiotic everyday which cut down on my IBS symptoms, not always but any times.
