Is it safe for me to take daily , my doctor wants me to take it for 4 months ## In my opinion 50,000 a day (from dietary supplements) is way too much. My girlfriend was diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency also as she lives in rainy Portland, Oregon. Her doctor suggested 50,000 IU per "week" for a certain number of weeks in order to reverse her deficiency. I know everyone is different, but 50,000 a day seems like a long shot from supplements alone and should probably be tapered down to a normal dose range after the 4 month period is up so it doesn't become toxic in your system (as Vitamin D2 is synthetic). I personally take 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 per 'day' as that is what I've read in many health magazines to be a healthy dose. If you are able to, I would strongly...

Has anyone taken this tablet for weight loss? It's distributed by Calvin Scott and Co. What did it do? Any side effects? ## It's just a daily multivitamin, it's not going to cause anyone to lose weight. Learn more Vitamin details here.

Is there anyway to find this without a prescription? ## Yes, this is just a vitamin and can be found at any health food store, and even most drug stores over the counter, and it's actually preferable to the prescription form. Your doctor is not doing you any favors prescribing you the prescription form of this vitamin. Please see the page on Prescription Vitamin D to see why you actually are better off with the over the counter form anyway. You can simply purchase Vitamin D3 (emphasis on the '3') at any health food store. 50,000 IU's per week is equivalent to approximately 7000 IU's per day. So just get an over the counter dosage that is the equivalent of 7000 IU's per day and take it daily instead of weekly. There is no downside to this, it's actually prefer...

Eating broccoli every other day and not really having vitamin K in the days between but my INR results were always consistent ranging between 2.0 and 2.5.

I was prescribed Vitamin D2 1.25 mg to be taken once a week for five weeks after my D level was tested and came back at a level of 21. I took the first dose 5 days ago and for the past four days I have experienced intense muscle and bone pain, drowsiness, weakness, shortness of breath, burning sensation in my bladder. Could I be experiencing an overdose? Is this too high of a dosage in comparison to my level being 21? ## The symptoms you've described may actually be due to the deficiency. The dosage you're taking does convert to 50,000IUs, but tests show that toxicity doesn't usually occur at that dose, unless it's taken daily for several months. There is a small chance that the dosage is too much for you, at once and could be causing the symptoms, but you should talk to...
