Do they actually make 5000IU pills?
I've been taking 1 pill of 1000IU whenever I stay inside an entire day without even 5 minutes outdoors, but I really don't know for sure what the recommended doses are.
- dmix 6y agoI asked this before and apparently in the US you can find 5000IU pills. Here in Canada all I could find was 1000IU and I take 5x of the pills instead. It still does the job, I presume.
- pengaru 6y agoAre you (or any of the parent comments) noticing anything after supplementing? As arguably a hormone I'm curious if there's any experientially observable effects from high doses.
- dmix 6y agoNo I personally have not felt anything taking it at 5000. Or you know, not taking it after a period. It's just like taking a vitamin. It's also a low enough dose to be safe for my adult body size/weight.
- balfirevic 6y agoThere is no recommended dose without knowing your current blood levels. Get yourself tested - if you're severely deficient start taking large doses (3000IU - 5000IU or more) for a few weeks, get yourself tested again and then adjust. If you're not deficient just keep doing what you're doing.
- chrisabrams 6y agoIn USA 5000 IU is pretty easy to find at any store that sells vitamins. This is what I buy all the time.
- tathougies 6y agoYes, costco sells 10000 IU ones.
