Just as an illustration and example, and keep in mind that people are different and that their individual health status and metabolism is different too.
Did a new Calcidiol (Vit-D) bloodtest, and got the result today. 86 ngr/ml. This is after a very long time of consuming 20,000 IU Vit-D per day. I aim at levels between 80 and 100. I am satisfied.
Before that, I consumed just 10,000 IUs per day, and the blood tests showed values in the range from 70-75.
So doubling the consumed dosis did not at all double the results in the blood test. By far not.
Just saying, because some people may think doubling the dosis on these high levels already would trigger danger, risk and drama. It doesn't.
My calcium was normal, too, and my parat hormone was low as well. No problems at all from raised calcium and no risk for kidney health that means in combination.
The naked body's skin, under ideal sun conditions with UV index higher than 3 , makes around 20,000 IUs of Vit D per 24 hours in a young person. The old may both take much longer time, and may also reach only a fraction of the young one's maximum level, due to the old skin containing much less 7-Dehydrocholesterol that is the necessary basic stuff needed to be transformed by UV radiation into previtamin D. Above 60, you can expect to make just a quarter or less of what your body could transform when you were 20. Thats why solid supplementation even in summer makes sense for the elder. :03:
Personally I do not care anymore for reduced doses in summer, and taking more in winter. I take 20,000 all year long. Keep it simple.
Dont be intimidated by higher doses of vitamin D. :03: Personally I would not worry at blood levels as high as 150 ngr/ml. Whether you have an additional benefit from that, is something different. I doubt it.
Take it with robust doses of K2 and Magnesium, and also Zinc. Dont exaggerate it wioth Zinc. 50 is enough if your metabilsim doe snot specifiuclaly needs more. Without bloodwork control I would not go above 50 for longer than two weeks or so.
