I take a Vitamin D3 (1kIU) + K2 (45mcg) supplement every day I know I won't be in the sun. And since it's been really cold and cloudy with short days, I've been taking it a lot. I do feel better, more energetic, when I take these on dreary winter days.

>>39962117
The D is for encouraging absorption of calcium, zinc and iron and all the stuff you wanna have inside you. Get some sun for fuck's sake

>>39962117
10000/day to pump up my test as much as possible
would take more than that but any more is toxic so i can't

By how many % will 4k of D/day increase my test levels?

You're gonna have some nice kidney stones my man, hope you enjoy peeing out rocks. Never mind if you ever lose weight and release more of the stored shit

>>39966839
I've got some k2 on order, I'm gonna be fine, I'll get bones of steel instead.

And I don't plan on losing weight, this is a good body weight for me. I'll spend the next two years recomping and filling out the weight class instead.

Can I use an UVB light (usually used for reptile terrariums) to produce vitamin D3 if I don't have any orally vitamin D3 forms to take?

taking 5k daily, because theres practically no sunlight and if there is im wearing a shitton of clothes

Honestly you probably do not need to supplement vitamin D during the winter unless:
>You're a child
>You're 65+
>You're pregnant
>You don't come outside/live in Canada, Siberia or Scandinavia
At least that's true for the regular dose, I don't know anything about the benefits of taking additional vitamin D though. If you're genuinely interested and have the time look up articles on Google Scholar.

WHAT ARE YOUR SOURCES OF VITAMIN D3?

>>39967517
>"Most people are not deficient in vitamin D, but they do not have an optimal level of vitamin D either" taken from examine.com

its cheap and has no sideeffects unless youre retarded. so basically: why not

>>39962117
I'd give her the vitamin D if you know what i mean.

>How important is it?

Quite probably the most important vitamin in terms of overall health and absolutely the biggest problem in western health and lifestyle in general

>How much do you take?
Part of the problem

We've known for 60 years of medicine and science that the primary source of Vitamin D in humans should be from sunlight. Diet should account for roughly 3-6% depending on where you live.

We know that dietary Vitamin D from food isn't enough to have anything more than a marginal effect and we know that supplementing high doses, while it DOES work, is far far inferior to sunlight

tl;dr like other supplements it has its uses but on /fit/ is 99% used to compensate for shitty lifestyle and poor choice

>>39962117
I take D3-K2 supplements under the hypothesis that I do not get enough sun exposure due to the fact that Canada is an northern country and that D3-K2 balance is important.

It's 120 mcg of K2 and 1000 UI of D3.

>>39967582
I'm Norwegian, the sun was up for less than 2 hours today.

I do take megadoses during summer too, but only because I was reading about German and Russian athletes doing it during the 70s.

>>39967630
How mega are we talking here? Large doses of vitamine D tends to just give me the shits

>>39967652
10000IU every day

>>39962117
like 5 vitaminD3 at 5000ui and a centrum for men

I don't into sunlight much and doc says my skin is the kind of shade that doesn't absorbs sunlight very well.

>>39967671
5 @ 5000 each? or in total

>>39967670
10k UI is fairly standard and safe. Adverse reactions have been shown in studies at 40k

Either way you should still be getting plenty from sunlight. Summer should give you all the sunlight you need even in far northern countries, as the studies show.

>>39967714

10000 iu everyday

hmm... I am tempted....
>>39968083
It depends on body weight though, I'm pretty sure I could get away with even more than 10000IU.

I take D3 because I moved from FL to OR and don't get as much sun. I think it's 1000iu. I only take 1 a day.

>>39962117

I feel like in a couple weeks I have noticed a noticeable benefit from 6,000 UI a day

However, I work at home, in econmerace. I only really go to the gym and grocery store and post office when I go outside and leave the house.

So my exposure to sunlight is minimal. But maybe it's placebo, maybe it is not.

But I feel like it has helped me, because I had no sunlight in my life.

I was happy before taking it, but I feel a little better as of late.

Life is good!

i take it in my mouth every morning and swallow

What's the problem with this? Both are accurate, at least in the west
