[quote=Anonymous]My D is always, always low, so I keep going through the supplementation process. What I've learned: 1. Definitely D3 over D2; 2. take with a little fat (meal, few swallows of not-skim milk, piece of cheese or spoon of nut butter) because it's fat-soluble and this helps absorption; 3. even though D3 is better, the prescription mega-doses are D2. My doc says there's one brand of mega-dose D3 and you can buy it on Amazon *without* a prescription. Go figure. (I've never tried because had already filled my D2 prescriptionfrom a different doc.) I believe he also said a fairly high daily dose is equally as helpful as those mega-doses, though, so, if true, not sure why other docs always give me the weekly version.

I have never actually felt better from Vitamin D supplementation, but figure it probably won't hurt and may help some invisible health process I can't feel. For what it's worth, the only supplements that made me feel better were B12 shots and DHEA/testosterone, but in both cases only because there was a definite deficit and only till the deficit was fixed.
