In reply to Vitamin D3 and fatigue, posted by Klaus on May 21, 2010, at 16:50:44
Klaus, I'm sorry for your worse reaction, and I'm totally stumped as to why. I've never heard of it doing that.
I usually take around 5,000 iu of supplemental D3 a day, starting maybe a year ago(?), and it coincided with (not necessarily caused) improved mood for me. Improved mood, but not much improvement in fatigue.I had comprehensive labs done in 2005, and my vitamin D rate was in the 30s if I recall correctly (I'm sorry I don't know the unit of measurement for the bloodwork). More recently, after starting on heavy vitamin D supplementation my rate around 6 months ago was 72. I follow a vitamin guru on this who says our goal should be 80-120, so I was pleased to be close. Mainstream labs that have not updated with the current literature may call 30-80 or 30-100 normal or standard, if I recall correctly, but I think I take issue with them.
