I've been following your replies in this post. Thanks for the info you are helping many of us with. I am new (about 12 mo) to the use of supplements. I was told after a bone density test to up my calcium and D3. I have tried to "equate" the dosage of "IU" with "mg". but not sure how to do that. I have currently 2,000 IU of D3, but unsure how to "increase" it to what the Dr. wants. Can you help explain? Thanks!
google will convert IU (international units) to mg for you
the bare minimum for adults should be 5000 IU of D2 (with the 120mcg of K2) per day. 30 minutes in the sun is equal to 10000 iu to equate the dose. you are basically forcing 15 minutes of sunshine a day.
