[quote=Ren]I take 2,000 IU/day. It is ridiculously cheap [/quote]
Since you have done the research, what do you think of taking too much vitamins? What about toxicity?
400 IU is the Vitamin D daily recommended value.
I’m not against taking vitamins, but I believe that Americans self-medicate (and doctor-medicate) too much and we don’t live any longer than people in other countries.

Recommended daily allowances change as new information comes to light, and many doctors and scientists are pushing for a big increase in the U.S. RDA of D3. I believe Canada has already done so, and the Canadian Pediatric Society now recommends 2,000 IU/day for pregnant and nursing mothers. Toxic amounts vary depending on the vitamin, but the toxic level of D3 is over 10,000 IU/day. If there is any doubt whatsoever, and you’re taking high doses, just have your doctor test your blood levels and adjust as needed. Many people with chronic infections take 10,000 IU/day long-term with no ill effects. Doctors will frequently prescribe large doses (like 50,000 IU once/week) for people who are very deficient.
The studies, and there are a lot of them, are actually fairly stunning. The importance of these findings might even put it up there with the discovery of penicillin, except for prevention and not just treatment.

Very interesting, Ren. I will have to read up more on Vitamin D. I need all the help I can get if I want to live to 120, haha…
