all things vitamin D
i notice you said it yourself above, px - it took a year and a half on 5,000IU per day. on 50,000IU per day for 10 days i got mine from 72 to 149 nmol/l. i could probably do 25,000IU per day for 5 days to get a similar boost, at this stage. maybe i will try that out this spring.

i find zinc REALLY helps your body absorb the D3 intake. taking zinc made a massive difference. i have to take much less D3 than i used to have to take before, now that i sorted out my zinc. good stuff NHE!
vho, do you take any zinc? i used to be in your shoes, had to take 50,000IU/d for 10 days to get from 72 to 149 nmol/L.
tried it again after fixing my zinc status and after 8 days on 50K IU i shot up 170 nmol/L (ie from 103 to 271) instead of the 50 or 60 i was expecting (wanted to be in the 150s/160s).

Sunlight may play role in Multiple Sclerosis risk
When and where people are born may affect their odds of developing multiple sclerosis, according to researchers who found that children born in the early summer months in the Southern Hemisphere are more likely to develop multiple sclerosis than those born in early winter.......

Vitamin D status is associated with relapse rate in kids MS
Vitamin D status is associated with relapse rate in paediatric-onset multiple sclerosis - http://www.msrc.co.uk/index.cfm/fuseact ... ageid/1408

For about a year, I have taken 5000 units of Vitamin D daily and no problems so far. My levels have increased from extremely deficient to normal. My neurologist recommends Pharmax fish oil as a pure and Vitamin A-free alternative to cod liver oil. Remember, the liver is the filter for all of the yuck in the body - do you really want to eat that? Also, some of the neuros at the MS research facility nearby are recommending 10,000 units of D to their patients (supervised of course).
My level was 7 and I have been taking 5000 units daily for about a year now with no adverse effects. At last check, my level was within normal range. I am fair skinned, blue-eyed and of Irish and Nordic descent so I appear to be genetically incapable of absorbing Vitamin D the old fashioned way. Although my 12 year old daughter is always outside in the sun, I decided to have her levels checked. Her level was 13 and I started her on 2000 units daily. Can't be too proactive.

in general, anyone with darker skin, older skin, higher proportion of covered skin, or sunscreened skin will have vitamin d3 issues unless the diet and/or supplement regimen makes up for suboptimal cutaneous synthesis.

Vitamin D: hope on the horizon for MS prevention?
The worldwide prevalence and incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS) are on the increase.
The need for strategies to prevent this devastating disease is therefore greater than ever.
As highlighted in a Review in this issue of The Lancet Neurology, vitamin D deficiency might be an important modifiable risk factor for MS. This raises the question of whether population-wide supplementation programmes might be a reasonable prevention strategy.... [Read More - http://www.msrc.co.uk/index.cfm/fuseact ... ageid/1334 ]

Should Scotland introduce Vitamin D supplementation?
When Ryan McLaughlin was 14 he found himself displaying symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.
Acutely aware of the condition as a result of his mother’s diagnosis two years previously, he was referred to Yorkhill hospital for tests.
Hoping to learn of a cure, he sought answers on the internet and came across research from Oxford University, highlighting the link between Vitamin D deficiency and MS.................
