Consider checking your D3 vitamin metabolite levels in blood. I had trouble falling asleep, had single digits of 25(OH) D3 concentration (The norm is 20+ ng/ml)

Consider checking your D3 vitamin metabolite levels in blood.
I had trouble falling asleep, had single digits of 25(OH) D3 concentration (The norm is 20+ ng/ml).
For now I was prescribed 20k IU of vitamin D3 twice a week.
Other things that helped - no caffeine after 3-4 pm and a cup of raspberry-hibiscus tea in the evening (It's very relaxing).
- fudged71 7y ago20,000IU in a day, only twice a week? Sounds really strange. To everyone else, don't follow this advice without a doctor prescribing it. The only reason I've seen for exceeding the potentially toxic 10k limit is for fighting the flu (D3 Flu Hammer).
- rathel 7y agoYes, obviously doses this high are prescription only. Should have mentioned that. Guess I have to trust my doctor, who mentioned this is a saturation dose, and later on I will switch to lower doses available over-the-counter.
