Dr. Mercola had an article a couple months ago on the importance of supplementing with Vitamin K2 if you’re going to supplement with Vit D3. Some studies showed that K2 helps keep calcium from being leached from your bones by the D3 and being depositied, among other places, in your arteries. So, that might explain the heart health issues that this study was finding.

I’m interested in what is considered “the low end of normal”.
Well, maybe I’m not, lol, I don’t “do blood”, and only partially remember numbers...is it 4 - 5000 IU’s?
Disclaimer: I take D supps to up my levels, and then back off a bit.

gator...life is one long trauma - no one gets out alive ;)

What KIND OF Vitamin D!!!!!????? Sheesh, we have really crappy “journalists.” And, maybe researchers, too.

I heard about this last night on coat to coast and they had the heart doctor on and he said they were giving these folks 10,000 iu a day or 140,000 iu’s a week. That would be fine is the person was sub normal not getting any daylight vit D but in the long run it was to much. He recommended around 3,000 to 4,000 iu a day.

This is such crap.

You body can make 50,000 iu of vitamin d with about 20 minutes of large skin exposure around noonday sun. It is hardly deadly. It also keeps cholesterol down because cholesterol gets converted to vitamin d.

You will hardly take even 1/10 that amount in supplements a day.
