I was very bad in going back to have my blood drawn to have my vitamin D level checked. I was supposed to go back in mid-December, but didn’t go until last week. The good news is, my levels are much improved. So vegans, it can absolutely work to do high-dose liquid vitamin-D2 supplementation for a low level and have it come up to normal. No need to take sheep secretions (or D2 that’s in a gelatin capsule)! My doctor did recommend that I continue with the daily type of supplement that I’m on, which for me is a total of about 2000 IU/day of D2 (my compliance is not as good as it should be, so I err on the side of taking a bit more than I might otherwise need to, since I don’t end up taking it every day). Here’s to preventing osteoperosis!
See here, here and here for my earlier posts on Vitamin D, in case you don’t know what the heck I’m talking about. 🙂
