Hi, Did you take 50,000 units per day, once a day, twice a day?

Yaya, how long did it take after starting the vitamin D for you to notice new hair growth in the bald spots?
I just finished taking 50,000IU D3 4x/day (because I am "high risk" - others will need less) for 4 days, and now just switched to 50,000IU once/week.
For under 20-25 nanograms/millliliter (still too low! ), most MDs will prescribe 50,000IU/week (usually D2) for 10 weeks or so, then cut back. But I took the advice from a link (VitaminDWiki) provided on Dr. Mark Sircus' web site which advised what I did/am doing.
FYI - I had zero side effects from taking 200,000IU/day for those 4 days.

D3 is far better than D2, and is best taken with K2 & magnesium (any type other than Oxide or hydroxide - unless you also need a laxative….), because Vitamin D boosts calcium absorption & the K2 & magnesium are apparently needed to ‘orchestrate' the calcium into the bones & teeth, etc. Without these co-factors, the calcium may inappropriately dump anywhere into the body - soft tissues, arteries, etc & cause issues.
it seems that any issues the D may appear to trigger at higher doses is not the D itself, but the inappropriate calcium deposits, if it has not been taken with the co-factors. It seems it's is important to get enough Vitamins A & E with the D too as they work together.
Nothing works in isolation……
