A member asked:
Rather take daily vit d3 : 600 iu, is it equally effective if i will take 50000 iu once month ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do neither: Vit d in the 50, 000 iu form is usually vit d2, which may actually do more harm than good- based on recent research i advise no one take d2. D3 is the best form by far. Most adults need to take 5000-8000 iu/day to get optimal blood levels of 50-80. You could take 35-55, 000 iu of d3 once a week instead. See http://bit.Ly/1hc250m ; http://bit.Ly/1dc7vna.
