Vitamin Dis also known as the "sunshine vitamin," since it is made by the body after being in the sun. Ten to 15 minutes of sunshine three times a week is enough to produce the body's requirement of vitamin D for most people at most latitudes. People who do not live in sunny places may not make enough vitamin D. It is very hard to get enough vitamin D from food sources alone. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. You need calcium for the normal development and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones. It also helps maintain proper blood levels ofcalciumandphosphorus.

lmaoing @ your're a life senpai
>>39293602
meant to say also, that take vitamin D with some kinda of fat. remember its actually a hormone. If you get ur levels too high it fucks with ur thyroid and the way ur body uses calcium. You get hypocalcimia(sp?). I had it for a couple weeks once, the vertigo and nausea was the worse part.

1k IUs, but i live in an all-year-round sunny country and get a shitload of sun exposure during the summer months.
>>39293672
Taking 3-5k is nowhere near enough to cause any amount of side effects what the fuck were you doing
>>39293630
Thank you
>IU
Nice jew trap (one again)
>>39293733
i had a horrible flu / upper respiratory infection. I thought I could boost my dose, cause I was really fucking sick. Was taking about 7k a day in only 2 doses on empty stomach like a retard.
>>39293582
5k IU a day.

>I won't see the sun again till April and I don't fancy getting depressed.
10,000 IU
Vitamin D is fat soluble so make sure to take it with some fat, fish oil is convenient
10,000 on lift days
5,000 on rest days
>>39294041
do you divide that much in doses.. thats a lot man
>>39294058
yeah it's a lot, one dose. I've been taking that dose for more than a year and I'm fine.
I believe it's like the highest safe dose. Saw a study a long time ago that claimed that it can improve athletic performance.
~5-7 K IU.

Anyone on /fit/ had a blood test before taking a vitamin D3 supplement and then after? What was the different in mg of vitamin D in your blood?
In other words, have you personally confirmed that taking vitamin D3 is not a meme?
>>39294238
I used to have very dark circles under my eyes during winters. That disappeared after taking more D3.
Other "proof" could be placebo.
>better mood
>more active
>easier to wake up

Here you go anon. I take one with a zinc and magmesium supp every morning with a glass of milk.
>>39294208
yeah the vitamin D "comity" says 10'k is ok, on their website. but i got problems with anything above 7k
>>39294238
yeah it really helped me last year during the winter, its just grey here for like 8months straight
I did bloodwork and i was D deficient like my doc predicted even tho i live in Greece. Bottom line , take vitamin D supp.

>even tho i live in Greece
You actually need to leave your room, though, anon.
Just got the results of a test I had done, my level was at 28, this was coming off the summer. I had also began supplementing 10000iu a day for about a week prior to having the test done. Now im taking 5000 a day whit vitamin k2. They say its almost impossible to take too much, unless youre taking 10000 a day for like 3 months straight. I can easily say im less of an anxious mess now that ive been taking it.
Its also important to be taking magnesium. I take 600 mg at night. This mineral is also very important for general health and tons of people are deficient, especially those who work out and sweat a lot. Magnesium is thought to play a major role in regulating mood and sleep health. I also recommend zinc, if you decide to supplement it take some that includes cooper as too much zinc without cooper can create an imbalance.
>>39293582
vit D3 - 4000 IU
vit K2 - 4000 IU
>>39293582
Ay I know this is the worst place on the whole internet to ask, but if I wanna take my vitamin D with zinc, do I take both pills in the same day, everyday?
>>39293582
