serious question about vitamin D and muh-muh-muh my corona


Jan 20, 2021, 8:27 PM

Read some posts about taking 5000 mg a day. That can't be right. I starting taking D a while back, and the bottle label says "25 mcg / 1000 IU". 25 micrograms is just 1/1000 of a milligram (mg)... so I'd have to take 5 million of those pills to get 5000 mg. Did you guys mean IUs? Or did I mis-read something...

A drunk will run a STOP sign, but a stoner will wait for it to turn green.


Just do whatever Manac do.

D is fat soluble and you don’t just pee out the excess like you do with C

During the winter I take 25 mcg of D3 every other day


Jan 20, 2021, 8:41 PM [ in reply to That much would mess you up good ]

Since I’m not in the sun. In the summer I don’t worry about it.

It’s a general immunity stimulant and in people of a certain age, helps prevent brittle bones.

I’m guessing those in search of a magic bullet against the ’rona are rationalizing that if a little is good, a lot will be better- not so in this case.

Excess Vitamin D levels can


Jan 20, 2021, 8:41 PM

be really really tough on the kidneys. People who are put on Vitmain D regimines have a high level of kidney problems.

It can also mess with your blood work. So if you go to doc for a yearly and even with fasting it can mess with your liver numbers, plus abnormally high BP.

Above is correct too, your body has to store the excess and can go to several organs to chill, thus the liver and kidney issues.

I would take a pic of my scrip bottle. Not doing...........


Jan 20, 2021, 8:42 PM

that. Hey maybe I'm reading it wrong. Here's what it reads and I found....

VIT D3 125 MCG (5000 unit)

5000 IU (125 mcg) Softgels Formulated with 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of vitamin D3 for those with higher vitamin D needs or deficiency, as determined by a healthcare professional.

Key is health care professional not internet message board.

OK, so I guess people meant 5000 IUs, not 5000 mg. That's


Jan 20, 2021, 8:49 PM [ in reply to I would take a pic of my scrip bottle. Not doing........... ]

what kept throwing me off. I was thinking, jeez, I musta bought some cheap super-wimpy dosage. LOL

My bottle label says 25 mcg / 1000 IU.

All the different units are confusing

That’s what I take - have every winter since I turned 55.

800-1000 IUs is what you will find in typical multi-vitamin.


Jan 20, 2021, 8:45 PM

Dr. Fauci says it's good and even in slightly higher amounts isn't going to hurt you.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

what I take is 25mcg (reading straight off the label)


Jan 20, 2021, 9:27 PM

which is 125% Daily Rec Value. That should be plenty, or take 2 if you wanna go big. Pill about as big as a baby aspirin. You can get the bigger, squishy yellow gel version too, but I don't like those.

at Clemson Ingles, 300 of them are <$4, almost a years supply. I just bought a new bottle last week.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

oh yeah, 25mcg = 1000IU


Oct 30, 2017, 9:57 AM

whatever those units mean.

Those guys musta meant 5000IUs, all I can figure.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah, that seems to be the case. I just wanted to be sure..***

This went all night, and no one brought up vitamin D

I'm actually a little ashamed with the Jounge.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up
