In October 2010, I began taking a Vitamin D supplement\u00a0http:\/\/www.vitacost.com\/Source-Naturals-Vitamin-D-400-IU-100-Tablets<\/u>\u00a0dosage of 400 IU three times a day for a month after hearing the\u00a0symptoms for Vitamin D deficiency<\/u><\/a><\/u>\u00a0included low energy, fatigue, crankiness.\u00a0 I was more low energy than cranky, but figured I might need it.\u00a0 The\u00a0blood test results<\/u><\/a><\/u>\u00a0for my \u201cVitamin D, 25 hydroxy\u201d score was low at 28.\u00a0\u00a0And that was after taking it three times a day for a month before the test!\u00a0<\/em>It says the optimum level is 30-80 ng\/mL.<\/p>\n

In December I doubled my dosage\u00a0after reading more about it<\/u><\/a><\/u>, and am now taking two 400 IU tabs three times a day, after eating.\u00a0 That\u2019s 2400 IU a day.\u00a0\u00a0People with higher rates of vitamin D in their blood have lower rates of disease and lower death rate, wind up with fewer bone fractures and fewer falls<\/u><\/a><\/u>.\u00a0 I can\u2019t remember when I last had a cold, and my bones are strong.<\/p>\n
