Vitamin d3 supplement

Hey i want to know if its safe to take 400ui of vitamin d3 supplement dailly as a side thing. I dont know if my vitamin d levels are full or low.

Since 400 IUs by todays standards is considered a conservative dose, its very unlikely that this would help or harm in anyway as the daily upper limit for vitamin set by the Vitamin D Council is 10000IUs. Dr Michael Holick of the Endocrine Society recommends taking 4000 IUs a day regardless of whether you’re screening for a deficiency or not. Bottom line is, no this will not cause any harm as it’s a very conservative dose.

Hi Adam,

I take Vitamin D3 everyday, because my levels have always been low. I have to take 2,000ui per day, initially 20,000ui once per week.

400ui is a very low dosage, considering I take 2,000ui per day.

Regards,
SteV3.

It is better to take 5000iu daily.take d3, not d2.
