50,000 IU Vitamin D
    #16105018 -

Anyone here ever prescribed vitamin d for vitamin d deficiency??


Just wondering.  I'm on a prescription of 50,000 IU once a week for a few weeks. I feel a little sketchy about it, cause i think it makes my body a little tingly but it can help raise vitamin d levels tho and def feel more energy from it.

Hey skatealex2

Im not a doctor or specialist, but couldnt you get all the vitamin D your body needs from catching a bit of sun (sunbathing) daily?

Is it possible to do so in your area?

Personally, I would skip the pills and get lots of healthy sun rays (15min morning and 15min early evening) but this is just my opinion and i dont recommend disregarding your doctor's wishes.

On that last note, in my experience, many prescriptions are quickly handed out by doctors without them mentioning that the same (and usually better) results could be achieved by appropriate 'green' diet and less harmful salts/fats.

^^^ What he said.

30+ mins of sunlight a day should give you all the vitamin D you need pretty much.
I don't believe in vitamins and supplements unless there is a damn good reason for them.
And in this case the sun provides 95% of the vitamin D your body needs.

Well that makes sense.  I was just thinking about this.  The reason I was prescribed though id because my vitamin d levels are pretty low.    I guess the prescription of 50,000 is because a lot is needed to get to normal levels,  but that said that might be true.  If I got a couple hours of sunlight a week that probably could be the better option.   


There have been some days recently where the clouds block out the sun, but I think it's gonna start being more sunny now, as it was today. Def possible as it gets sunnier I can get vitamin d naturally instead.

I feel a little uncomfortable with the pills as my body seems to tingle a little sort of.  I read somewhere that feeling is actually bones fixing themselves, but still it seems there should be no reason a pill should be better than vitamin d from the sun.

I would continue taking them if I were you. That along with natural sun will make your vitamin D levels rise quicker. Too much of a vitamin will do nothing to harm you.

^^^^ Yep!
Being exposed to the sun is very important for us and many of the animal species on this planet so i still recommend getting some sun rays

Even if there is clouds you still get vitamin D from the sun. Complete cloud cover blocks maybe half of the UV rays.
You can still get sunburned on a cloudy day, I know I have cause I'm a white motherfucker
Now wintertime, there may be less.

Glad I live in Sunny socal
