Hi

As I read the vitamin d supplements has more side effects....

I experienced them... Some side effects will take place progressively over several months..so it may more hard to notice.

Sun is vitamin d is best source  ..moreover the sun has other benefits beside vitamin d.

IF you live far away from equator, I'm questionning if could store  some vitamin d reserve  to prevent a big drop in winter..like you are out in sun  at least 1 hour daily during summer..... is it enough reserve for the winter?

Thank you to share.

      I do not count how many times; it varies. I do a lot of running and I have to always remain well hydrated without overdoing it. My urine is always clear. All components of my recent urinalysis were normal.

      If I wake up in the middle of the night, then I go to the bathroom. Might as well, I'm up anyway. If I don't wake up, then I still never wet the bed.

    6000 IU could be safe for you..

    but could try to to stop 6000 IU during some weeks and check if you notice   you have less urination  a progressively  after you stopped 6000 ui of vitamin d3?

     and keep me update..

    Thank you

      No need to stop my D3 supplement; I feel fine and it seems to have worked well. Coincidentally, I just had a Vitamin D 25-OH test today. When I get the results, I will adjust my dosage if necessary.

      Vitamin D 25-OH - 65.3 ng/mL (reference range 30.0 - 100.00 ng/mL). No need to to experiment with adjusting my dosage. It will remain at 6000 I.U of D3 Cholecalciferol each day.

      By the way, I live at 40° 34′ 16.69″ N.

    I live far from the equator and I am outside running for at least an hour every day, year round. When I got the vitamin D 25-OH test I found that I still had a deficiency. I have been taking about 6000 I.U. of D3 Cholecalciferol for several years with no side effects.

      I forgot to mention that I got squamous cell carcinoma from too many years of "soaking up the sun".
