Title: My start on D3 regimen Post by CHaStever on Jun 27th, 2015 at 3:24pm
I was going to post on one of the existing threads but thought at 91 pages and 16 pages it might be easier to follow this way.
Mods your welcome to add this to one of the other threads if you see fit. So I decided to give the D3 a go. Had to have some other blood work done the other day so asked the doc about getting the 25(OH)D test. He indicated my ins. won't cover it but if I want it he will order it,,, I would have to cover it out of pocket (est. $200.00). He didn't discourage me from taking Vit. D and even said if I want to I should take 10000 IU / day. So I went shopping and here's what I came home with based on what I could find; Vit. D3 gelcaps - 5000 IU per cap Omega3 Fish Oil Supp - 1750 mg / serv., (serv. is 2 softgels) = 875 per gelcap. Citracal Max. Calcium Citrate - 630 mg / serv., (serv is 2 tabs) = 315 mg./tab. (+500 IU Vit D / serv) Centrum Silver Men 50+ - contains 1000 IU vit D, 210 mg Calcium(carbonate), 75 mg Magnesium, 15 mg Zinc, 3500 IU vit A, 6 mcg vit K, ... along with the usual host of other vitamins & supplements. I'm starting with; Vit D - 5000 IU noon, 5000 IU p.m. plus the additional in Centrum & Citracal (may increase D) Fish oil - 875 mg noon, 875 mg p.m. (may increase) Citracal - 630 mg a.m./noonish. Centrum Silver - 1 tab a.m. I'm also on 240 mg Verapamil ER taken in evening. Questions; is the Calcium in the Citracal too high?... should I only take one tab for 315 mg?... or should I cut it out completely based on the 210 mg calcium in Centrum. (along with being on Verapamil) Should I be taking more Omega3, Magnesium, Vit. K? Any other essentials I may be missing? I tried to read through the '123 days PF... ' and 'Anti-inflammatory Reg. Update...' threads but at a combined 115 pages it becomes a little overwhelming and some things get a little buried or passed over. Replies / suggestions will be most appreciated. PFDN to all. Thanks, Steve Edit: for now I am going to cutout the Citracal as I'm concerned it may be interfering with the Verapamil... Getting a lot of shadows and this mornings attacks seemed more intense than the last few days. |

The basis of Batch's dosages that I have used from the start can be found in Batch's post at the start of page 89 of the thread "123 days......" in the treatment & medications section and starts "Hey Avalon".
Hope that makes sense. Good luck, Peter. |
