My vitamin D is always low. I have been on prescription mega supplements. They help but it is still not optimal. Any suggestions? Can anyone recommend a godo supplement?

Mark Sisson (Primal Blueprint guy) says for vitamin D you should get out in the sun more.

LOL I would have to move south to find sun and that is not an option. And even in the summer when I was running outside sans sunscreen 4 times a week, my vitamin D was incredibly low.0 -
I have the same problem. My numbers are down in the dumps. I think it was 8 or 9 last time I was tested. I was on prescription D and will need to do another round, but not that enthusiastic about going back to the Dr.
I did get a 10,000 iu D3 by Solgar that I take a few times a week (as well as the cal-mag-zinc, etc.) I can tell when it's getting too low. My joints/bones hurt, I get a ringing in my ear, and I feel incredibly tired. Wish I lived somewhere warm with tons o'sun.0 -
Make sure to get a D3 with K. I personally really like nutrametrix (google it). It isn't cheap but I do believe their hype of better uptake. Any D2 or "prescription" D is honestly not as effective. And I believe if you are low, 10k ius is a good dose. My D is 52 and I still do 5,000 ius.0

My vitamin D was really low and my doctor had me taking 50K per day for two weeks and then a maintenance dose of 10K per day (D3). It keeps my vitamin D in the good range now and 10K is just two small softgels.0
