A member asked:

How long before i can start to feel an improvement taking 50 000 iu of vitamin d. i had a level of 8 and started taking calciferol end of july 2017. i'm taking this dose once a week?

D supplementation.: Your first step should be to have your blood rechecked at this time for your vitamin D levels (esp. the vitamin D3). If your level is adequate, then symptom relief should come in short order (assuming your symptoms are due to deficiency in vitamin D).
