Guidelines Call for Increase in Vitamin D

 Tue, 11-30-2010 - 9:29am

Under my doctor's advisement I've been taking 2,000 IU per day for about 18 months. My last bone density test was even better than the previous one, which was good, & my nails haven't looked as good since I was taking prenatal vitamins. Thought I'd past along this info. after coming across this article.

Have you seen a difference? I was surprised about the positive results I experienced.

You know I've tried taking cod liver oil, even freezing it before I swallow it, but it keeps repeating for hours. In the end I gave up trying. I heard there's one that doesn't dissolve until further down in the digestive tract. I might give that a try.
As a kid I was force fed CLO by the spoonful.

I'm not sure because when I started taking it was at the same time my thyroid levels were completely funky. I can't tell which symptoms were caused by low vitamin D or low thyroid.

There are "no burp" fish oil capsules. That's what my dad takes.
