A member asked:

I take vitamin d 50,000 weakly with food,is there something that affects the absorption of vitamin d i have to avoid it during treatment period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. Michael Kleerekoper answered

50,000: Very high doses of vitamin D are used weekly for four weeks followed up by 1000 to 5000 units daily for a few more weeks. More importantly, it is uncommon for a woman your age to need so much vitamin D. Has your doctor told you why you need so much vitamin D? I would like to learn his/her answers.
