Excellent roundup of relevant Vitamin D information. Solid science, easy to understand. So necessary to surround D with its buddies: magnesium, K2, vitamin A. I toss in a once a week boron and strontium pill to top off the program.

I take vitamin D3 with K2 in a coconut oil capsule. About 7 years ago, I got extremely ill from vitamin D defficiency. I couldn't work, I couldn't sleep, had no energy, no muscle strength, and was like a total zombie. It was horrific! I am so grateful I finally figured it out. Since I have to cover up when in the sun, I pretty much depend upon my supplement intake.

Taking 5,000IU - 10,000IU per day is perfectly safe for an otherwise healthy individual. Vitamin D toxicity is not like toxicity of other fat soluble vitamins. The vitamin D isn't toxic, but in a very small minority of people may cause elevated blood calcium.
