[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 958122, member: 41816"] Thanks [USER=129795]@msmi1970[/USER] I was just about to weigh in with the Vit K suggestion too - VERY important. These things should be balanced. Also, (to address the OP), when I was reading up on Vit D3, amongst other things I found a very interesting snippit on an MedicineNet website. Basically, if you are obese (as I am) with low Vit D, then supplementing is a bit like filling in a bottomless sink hole. Obviously the article didn't use this phraseology! [URL='http://www.medicinenet.com/vitamin_d_deficiency/article.htm']www.medicinenet.com/vitamin_d_deficiency/article.htm[/URL] Apparently sun exposure or supplements will raise both non-obese and obese people's blood vit D levels the same. But 24 hours later, the obese person has approx half the Vit D circulating in their blood as the non-obese person. I expect that is because the Vit D is pulled out of the blood and into the tissues, where needed, and obese people pull more Vit D because they have more tissue... Anyway, long story short, I supplement 10,000 units (plus Vit K) nearly every day, and will continue to do so until I pay for another private Vit D test, which is planned for the end of the year (it is only £28 and is done in an NHS lab).

I have noticed significant improvements in muscle aches and mood since starting this D+K supplementation, and am absolutely f'ing delighted. Just wish that I had acted on this much sooner. [/QUOTE]
