[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 488986, member: 40343"] I was diagnosed Vit D deficient and prescribed tabs at 25000 IU a day for a couple of weeks to get my levels back up. The doc now says to take 250 - 500 IU a day. Irritatingly it didn't make me feel any different as my tiredness was down to something else. The one to watch out for is B12 deficiency as normally that can only be sorted out by a course of B12 injections. I read that you need to take very high doses in tablet form, around 40000 (forty thousand) times the RDA for it to have any effect as B12 is broken down by stomach acid. If you are B12 deficient then go see your doc rather than thinking you can sort it by eating B12 rich foods like steak etc. You need to get your levels restored to normal via injections before a B12 rich diet will keep you topped up.
