A member asked:
Neurologists! what is your opinion on the maximum daily dosage of vit d3 to prevent ms where cis confirmed? how often is toxicity witnessed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
My opinion: What is the evidence? Clearly, those with higher levels of oh-vit d-3 who have active ms, have fewer relapses, less progression, and fewer MRI lesions. Also, a military study showing lower risk of ms in folks with higher d levels. Typically, my patients will take about 5000-10000 units of d-3 daily, and we aim for blood levels of 50-60 ng/ml. Would also advise starting ms medicine, now.
