Re: Terrible taking vitamin D

Dear huggable,

Can you please clarify something here? 400 mg of D3 liquid isn't very clear on exactly what dosage you're using. Do you mean milliliters, and if so, what dosage does that answer to in micrograms/international units?

mcg D3 x 40 = iu D3

This question is of a type that would interest the folk at the vitamin D council, and you can possibly get a direct answer on their mailing list or on their facebook page ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vitamin-D-Council/332321220632
). I've gotten several replies there on facebook myself, including one or two from the doctors on my questions.

You might want to try a few things:
On one day, take your co-factors and vitamin D at 1-2 hour intervals, noting down the specific reactions of your body to each one. Try using a lower dosage of D3, in case it is what is causing the pain.

It can be a certain combination that is causing it. Try varying the order in which you take and test the co-factors.

Can it be the type of magnesium you are taking? On a magnesium-gydroxoid/oxoid I experienced headaches and increased oxygen content in the blood. magnesium -citrate or -malate is considered ideal.

Contact with a nutritionally-educated doctor would be ideal to help chase down your puzzlepiece. It is possible that your skeletalmuscular system is reacting so because of a different need or underlying issue that the vitamin D stimulates to cry out about. I'd say in this case, it's ideal to find or switch to a doctor who can help you through the process logically.

God bless, and don't give up! Tweet
