How the fuck do you get vitamin D deficiency in the tropics?

Take 10,000 IU a day, 5000 if you're taking vitamin K2 as well.

i was told to take 2000 IU a day by a doctor. Another doctor said I should take 10.000. I decided to just take 6000 IU a day then.

It really depends on your blood work, but 10000 won't kill you or make you sick. On too of that a good chunk won't get absorbed unless you're taking K2. I don't know the exact numbers, but you'd do good to get 5000 in your body if you were on 10000 a day.

a third doctor even said that vitamin D supplements are bullshit and that I need to stay in the sun more often

No you don't, unless you're a darkskin nigger & you had your blood tested + a doctor confirmed your deficiency.

Then yeah, take 10000 IU. The worst that will happen is that you feel better. I've been on that much and it fixed my depression a lot better than Zoloft did. Different bodies act differently, so your mileage may vary, but D3 is cheap so you may as well take it and see how you do.

And ideally, yeah, you shouldn't need supplementation, but a lot of people don't have the luxury of being in the sun enough to get where they need to be.

Bingo.

Some of you guys take 10000 IUs a day? Shit, you might be driving your blood calcium to higher than safe levels.

I've had blood work and my levels of everything are fine even with 10000 IU a day. To be fair, I get very little sunlight working an office job so I don't need to worry about however much I actually absorb from the supplements adding onto the amount my body would produce from sunlight.

That is a concern, though, Vitamin D in ridiculously high doses will cause hypercalcemia, but you need tens of thousands of IU to get there typically.

Faggots just get your vitamin D from fish like a rational human being would.

Unless you have a fish allergy...
