Vitamin D3

My dose is an emergency dose, which is often used by endocrinologist for people who have dangerouslylow levels, if you are referring to me growstuff.

I understood your post Marydoll:

However, I do believe it should be taken under supervision, as overdosing on it can be dangerous. Only a blood test can determine your levels.

It will be monitored again in a few weeks and investigated if my levels don't rise. Thank goodness my consultant is on the ball!

@Shinamae Have these helped you?, what are the health benefits please of this combination.

Now that summer has arrived getting out and allowing sunshine on our skin without sunscreen allows our bodies to make vit D naturally.
If you are housebound and can’t even sit in a sunny doorway then supplementation is required.
Natures way is normally best to my thinking.

I took it this winter, but have stopped now as I am in the sun as soon as it comes out, gardening, sitting on the swing or walking in woods and Dales. For most people, natural sun is plenty enough.

Of course it is, for most people, Espee However, I have previously posted this comment my consultant made to me:
If you were to lie naked in the sun for a year in Dubai, it would make any difference at all, Mrs MDoll. ? Not a pretty sight, I can asure you!

My husband and daughter in law got Vit D from ?NHS free , both extremely vulnerable, but not sure if that was general in UK.

Anyone in the UK deemed extremely, clinically vulnerable was offered free Vit D supplements.

In France it is given free, I am 71, I usually have it prescribed twice a year but since covid once a month.

No, I wasn't. I know that initial large doses are given when there is severe deficiency. It was a reply to a post before yours.

Taking large doses of Vitamin D3 over a long period can lead to problems.

Sorry for the confusion.
