These responses are all extremely helpful, ty. Really good reminder about omega 6. I also know I'm low in zinc; I took the zinc test where I drank it on a spoon and couldn't taste it. To that end, I try to eat a lot of oysters. I do think it would be a good idea to get the blood test. Two questions: 1- Is there any reason you wouldn't recommend... -

For me, with osteoporosis, Celiac and more than 1 heart condition, the slower, safer route is preferable. I'm on 5 meds per day. Too much of anything can disturb absorption of this or that. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. I'm gone for a few days. -

It took me 2015 to 2021 at 10,000 IU a day to get to 80 ng/ml. In 2019 I was still only 47 ng/ml The highest it has reached is 93. Tested every 3 months.

These responses are all extremely helpful, ty. Really good reminder about omega 6. I also know I'm low in zinc; I took the zinc test where I drank it on a spoon and couldn't taste it. To that end, I try to eat a lot of oysters. I do think it would be a good idea to get the blood test. Two questions: 1- Is there any reason you wouldn't recommend that I just buy and take a test like this as a first step? 2- I've been somewhat gluten free since ~Jan 2023 (technically organic, gluten free, soy free, light on dairy). I eat a lot of meat, vegetables, rice -- a common breakfast for me is three eggs and a sausage link, and I can't remember the last time I had a sandwich or bread. However, because in my mind I didn't think I had an allergy, and I more was doing gluten free to avoid artificially iron-enriched foods, I do make exceptions. I'll eat breaded calamari. When my Dad visits, I split mozzarella sticks with him because he loves them so much. I'll eat the "gluten sensitive" items at a restaurant and if they asked, "is cross contamination ok?", I always said yes. Based on that, since I never probably fully eliminated gluten, but it was significantly reduced... is that good enough to take the blood test? Because the pain in my side gets SO bad (really sometimes I can't function, and I absolutely thought I was dying), I am hesitant to do the gluten challenge. Would it make sense to take the test, and if it's negative, then consider doing the challenge and seeing if I can deal with eating the bread every day? Thanks again! -

While a one time massive dose can be used to quickly raise vitamin D levels, its effects only last three months. Because vitamin D is stored in fat, an obese person would require more to raise blood level. Effect of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation on Volumetric Bone Density and Bone Strength The point of higher vitamin D is for the mental health and immune system requirements. Also this study included supplementing calcium. "Research suggests that women with low levels of vitamin D have a higher risk of breast cancer. Vitamin D may play a role in controlling normal breast cell growth and may be able to stop breast cancer cells from growing."
