Vit D below <4 part 2 by: Anonymous
The Vitamin D they checked for was calcidiol (D3). I did get checked approximately 5 months earlier and notified 3 months ago the result was at a level of 17 and then was placed on a 1000 IU vitamin D daily intake for 2 months. When retaking the vitamin D test it drop to <4. Tiredness and Light leg pains have been constant for over 2 years, especially in the morning.
Yep, you are REALLY LOW! by: Kerri Knox, RN- The Immune Queen!
I've outlined all of the major reasons why most people become vitamin D deficient on the Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency page.
Mainly, the major reason why you are so low is because you BELIEVE that you are getting vitamin D from SOMEWHERE because that's what doctors tell you. "If you eat a well-balanced diet, you'll get all the vitamin D you need..." is what most doctors (who have all of something like 2 hours of nutritional training) will tell you.

VITAMIN D by: Marien
I agree totally with Kerri Knox RN. My level was 6. Take D3. Below 20 +/- your parathyroid can kick in to help compensate. At approx. 40 you're using your "D" as fast as you are taking it in.
I take 5,000 IU of D3 along with calcium, potassium and magnesium (magnesium helps the body to absord the D). Get 15-20 minutes of sun daily with as much skin exposed as possible.

vitamin D.3 by: Anonymous
I was born with rickets and am not sure what my vitamin d level was because up until now I didn't know it was a problem. I stay tired and weak in the legs. My potassium drops low quite a bit. I have been taking viramin d3 for more than a year yet the last blood draw it was below 4. I told my doctor that something is wrong when I consume so much vitamin d and still it is not coming up. 5000 units weekly and still it don't come up. I also take multi vitamins which carry 600 iu of vitamin d 3. what could be the problem?
