New Vitamin D recommendations

Every multivitamin I have picked up, i look at the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for certain minerals and vitamins.  The most important one that I pay attention to is the one that has the most research.  The most researched vitamin nowadays is Vitamin D.  The daily recommendations says to take 600 IUs daily, which amounts to less than 25 nanograms of Vitamin D.  The experts are saying Vitamin D intake should be around 2000-4000 IUs daily!  I tell all my patients to take a multivitamin AND Vitamin D3 supplement 2000IUs daily.  That will get them in between those requirements.  Taking a Vitamin D3 supplement will not get your levels up high right away.  It takes about 6 months to a year to actually feel any effects from adequate vitamin D intake. 

So be patient, and continue your vitamin D intake at 2000IUs daily, and pray that your energy improves, your heart improves, your bones and muscles improve.  That is all for now.  See ya'll later.
