Worked from home for over 2 years, gained weight and diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Started taking vitamin D 4000 iu every 2 days, diabetes is in remission and I'm feeling stronger. But I'm now hairier too, unfortunately.

If I dated that doctor we'd never get any natural sunlight. Because we'd never leave the bedroom.

I was not VIt. D deficient but I took Uprise D3 supplements once per week for 5 days. During this time I experienced a lot of heart palpitations and chest tightness and shortness of breath. Did anyone else experience this?

i take 60000 to 70000 iu a day, and have for over 6 weeks. In the early 1900.'s doctors prescribed 15 mg a day and two cancer drugs used the equivalent of around 50, 000 iu
People loved them. That is when the drug companies came out with the iu measurement, and said 400 iu or more was dangerous. That is much much less than 15 mg. I have had no problem, but I am seeing benefits.
