D3 - is more needed as time goes on?
Mar 17th, 2014 at 7:34pm
 
Hi all,

I'm taking 3000/day.  All has been well.  I notice some pain coming back.  Wonder if I need to start increasing the D3.  Does the body "get use to it" & need more to maintain?

thx all.   Smiley

Hey w7sg,

Good question...  While 3000 IU/day vitamin D3 is better than no vitamin D3 at all...  it's too low a maintenance dose to keep most CH'ers pain free.  The following chart tells the story...

Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or Register

As you can see it takes an average dose of 5,000 IU/day vitamin D3 to obtain a 25(OH)D response of 60 ng/mL.... the lower boundary of the "green zone" where most CH'ers have reported a pain free response to this regimen...

10,000 IU/day vitamin D3 has proven to be a safe and effective maintenance dose for CH'ers... roughly 30 cents a day including the cofactors.

Take care,

V/R, Batch

Be sure to take the vitamin D3 with the largest meal of the day.  This can help absorption by as much as 50% over taking vitamin D3 on an empty stomach.

Take care,
