Out of curiosity, what do they recommend for that? I've heard conflicting reports re: supplementation/sunshine/etc.
(BTW, I've been taking magnesium and Co-Q-10 on the advice of my doctor, and I do think they're doing me some good -- and this is from the supplement-skeptic, fwiw!)
I had a vitamin D deficiency for nearly a year -- starting last year around the holidays. My oncologist put me on megadoses of Vitamin D (50,000 I.U.s) - one pill a week & I was monitored for 3 month intervals. Also I was told to drink/eat more dairy (ha ha ha ha -- not happening since I'm lactose intolerant), eat more broccoli (I think it tastes fine, but unfortunately, my stomach doesn't like it), sit out on the sunshine. So as of this past September ... my vitamin D count has finally leveled off -- now I just take Caltrate 600 twice a day.
I am dumb about these things. Will sun-lamps help with the Vitamin D issue, or does it have to be natural sunlight? Either way... good luck/yay I am glad that the supplements are hopefully helping!
