I suffer from many ailments and on my last blood test it can't back that certain levels were low. One of the medications i have been given is desunin 800ui 5x tablets daily. Avoiding to the evidence this is a high dose as usual dose is 1 tablet daily. I do suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and take lots of medication, however i have read the instructions and looked online and can't find the best time to take this medication, is morning or night best, i have found you can take with or without food, just wondered best time to take it, especially as it is a high dose. Thank you in advance

One x800iu daily is only maintanence dose.

40,000iu weekly + is a more usual dose

I take 800ui a day but have 400ui tablets which I take morning and evening. I would just take yours in the morning if that is convenient. One thing it is a good idea to take something containing fat with it such as yogurt, as it helps to absorb the vit D3 into the body.

I didn't know that about the fat so thank you. I tend to take mine at night because i believe sleeping is a healing time and so a time to absorb better. Only my belief though.

That is a thought, I hope your vit D level increases by leaps and bounds. I did also read that you should not take the tablets and drink tea at the same time. I am not sure how true that is, I do sometimes have a cup of tea around the same time.
