I try to give my wife about 6" a day. I'm good with what God gave me and don't need any extra.

I don't normally take any, but I should just to keep my levels up.
I suffer from cluster headaches and when I start a cycle I take heroic amounts. Studies have shown that levels of 100ng/ml have a significant impact on frequency and duration. For some lucky people vitamin d may eliminate them all together. I just started my cycle a week ago, after being free of them for 18 months. I've take just a little over a million IU in the last week.

1000 IU, about 5x/week. Blood test shows it's still on the low end of range.
One of the few vitamins I take that shows a very obvious result. Good for T levels and morning wood. |

I took 160,000 IU for a couple weeks. You see the bottle said 50 mcg so I thought to get a dose of 4000iu meant I’d need to take 80 capsules. So I did that and then realized it was 2000iu/ capsule.

4000 iu per day. Been taking D, B12, Zinc, Mag, Calcium for around 10 years. Got to thinking about it and realized I have not had the flu or any colds for about the same period of time. Nor any cold sores which used to be about once every 2 years or so. Only thing I'm missing from Zelenko's Z Stack is the quercetin. Tested positive for the rice rabies 12/15/2020 but was 100% asymptomatic.
Guess I was ahead of the curve without knowing it. |

About three years ago my PCP tested my Vitamin D levels and it was around 25. Started taking 4000 per day and last two years my vitamin D level was around 49. Might be a coincidence but since starting on that regimen I have not had so much as a cold.

Another interesting inquiry would be, how many of us who supplement D3 also took the experimental gene therapy that the MSM calls the "CONvid vaccine?"

Be careful!
I starting taking vitamin D3 pills, and had an allergic reaction after a few days. Developed a severe skin rash, and allergic reaction, to the lanolin in the pills. The D3 supplements are made by boiling sheep's wool, skimming off the lanolin, and selling it as a vitamin D3 supplement. Switched the D2 (made from plants), and I'm just fine. |

For the past almost 2yrs, 8000 iu/day per my doc. I take them as drops rather than gel-caps: faster absorption. I also take a B complex, zinc, garlic, plus a few other supplements every day. Haven't been sick at all since initially getting rice rabies in early 2020.

50,000 IUs once a week.
Doc prescribed it, couple of bucks for a months supply. Over the counter Vit D wasn't increasing my levels after a year , so I asked for the script. I was up to high normal range in a few months. |

For a few months I was taking a 1000 iu pill daily. I spend a lot of time in the sun so I don't think I had as bad a shortage of vitamin D as I did in vitamin B, C and E.
Years of a shitty diet and ignoring my health led to a variety of issues. Now that these issues are resolved I'm tapering off of supplements in general. Mainly I've been trying to listen to my body and just giving it whatever it wants, well... Besides sugar. As of late I've been weaning myself off of large regular doses of magnesium. |

A fighter pilot named batch had them and stumbled upon it after getting a bad sunburn and his clusters went away. He put two and two together and figured it out. And while yes, it can f your world up, it is actually difficult to take too much. I did a lot of research try to figure out just how far I could push it. I wouldn't recommend my current dosage to anyone but I don't think most people are taking enough. Unless you are out in the sun all the time I have no problem recommending 10k a day. My favorite story is about post war east Germany and there problem with rickets. They solved it by injecting toddlers with 250k of the d with no reported side effects. |
