My doctor put me on a daily 2000 IU vitamin D supplement years ago for unrelated reasons. I feel lucky now.

I never did ask him what he expected the vitamin D to do for me.




the new studies show that 2000 IU is very low for active adult person it should be more like 6-8000 IU, the recommended values by conservative studies won't even diminish vitamin D deficiency let alone bring benefits of having extra levels

Thanks for the link. Just so you know, it wasn't my downvote - I don't think HN allows you to downvote replies to your own posts.
