Vitamin D

[Khyron]

I've been doing 1000 every day for years, but after doing the lab work I upped it to 3000 last October, and give the kids 1000 each (wife 2000) at dinner. I use the drops as it's dead simple to do it at dinner into whatever they're drinking, and no taste.

Then I personally do a multi, some omega 3 (fish allergy) and some calcium.

Yes there's some pretty good research on the vit d deficiency/covid link hence starting last year.

[The_Rural_Juror]

Multi, Omega, Vitamin C/D/K, Calcium Citrate, Lutien, PQQ, NAC, Bat extract, Quercetin, Probiotics and a double espresso chaser. Probably forgot a few things.

I am at about 3500 of Vit D.

[ExtraSlow]

3-8 thousand IU of Vit D 3-4 tmes a week and nah waarries mateee.

Fish is a great source of it as well. I prefer to get my vitamins in a food source as opposed to supplements but I still have a cabinet full of them. Salmon is my go to.

+1

not a fan of taking pills for supplements.
fish, eggs and mushroom for me

Good to see you still posting brother. How were your labs at only 1000iu/day?

Did 3000 get you into the higher-normal range??

Cut out the calcium unless its for some super obscure reason. Doesn't help with bone health.

This is the stack I landed on:



4x (4000 iu) of Vit D
1 of each of the Vit K (100 mcg) and Magnesium (150mg)
4x of the chewables (2000mg Vit C, 8mg Zinc)

[Disoblige]

I do find when I take 4-5000 IU a day, I need to piss a little bit more than usual. Hmm...

[killramos]

I’m a simple man, centrum men’s multivitamin and supplementary 1 pill of D3 a day as per doctors orders. Been doing it for years.

My main issue is I don’t eat breakfast, and the centrum makes me feel like yacking if it’s the first thing I take in the AM which has harmed my regularity. But with WFH I can comfortably take it with lunch.

I need to just start keeping vitamins in my desk at work.

[vengie]

This is what I've been taking daily for a while
- 5 defenders (Mushroom Blend): Immune system support
- Lions Mane: Cognition/ Brain support
- Cordyceps Militaris: Energy (I've cut this one out recently)
- Magnesium: Stress Management (1 capsule - 150mg)
- Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): Health Maintenance (2000-3000 mg/day)
- Vitamin D3: 4000 IU during winter - 2000 IU summer
- B Complex: Health, stress, energy, etc etc A lot of benefit here

Big fan of Mushrooms

Jesus. I hope to never have to take that many pills on my deathbed

I haven't retested since - was going to in the spring but then covid. Will try in the next month or two (though the spike they give you for the finger prick is a goddamn harpoon)



This was on 1000/day, and keep in mind I run outdoors for 5+ hrs a week so I'm not a total office vampire. So normal range, but barely, and certainly not in the winter months

North American's have the most expensive piss.

[Disoblige]

Fuck, vengie should sell his piss for 10 cents on the dollar he spends on vitamins. Put it into a gel capsule and you're good to go. Call it the "Golden Daily" pill.

Well, don't get old then.
I'm only Speedog + 1 or 2 years and my morning routine is 2 Vit D, 1 blood pressure pill, 1 multivitamin, 1 81mg asa to keep the heart attack away, and glaucoma eye drops.

Good thing I eat nothing but Texas BBQ. Keeps me young.

No regular pill routine here at all, am I doing this wrong? I eat a fairly balanced diet although low on red meat, lots of fresh fruit and veggies, virtually no alcoholic bevies, regular sleep (6hrs nightly), no drugs, somewhat physical job. Can't remember the last time I took a vitamin/mineral/whatever supplement.

Lol, it’s not that many pills in the grand scheme of it.
I’m cutting out the cordyceps, and will phase out some of the other things once I get my cortisol levels in check.

swallowing ain't too bad once you get used to it. Right @Toilet_X ?
