Hey,
So I recently got results for vitamin D & calcium blood test, 25,OHD3 was measured
hs
A bit of context, I made vit D bloodtests about twice a year, and I tried to get out from the deficiency range for so long; I tried sunbathing on a summer, and supplementing ~5K UI daily vit D for few months, to see my blood tests barely above 30 (it was 31 or smth), and then during winter with supp still it went down under 30 again.
However, I was really comitted to put those numbers up because Ray Peat himself told me to have my vit D high enough because of a blood problem I have which could degenerate into cancer otherwise, and because vit D benefits are EVERYWHERE lol, anabolic effects and stuff.
SO, for 2 years I failed pumping up my vit D, and I finally decided to go 1 step further and I did 25K UI daily for 1 month, and this is the result.
I am obviously stopping supplements, and I don't feel any negative effects at all, if anything I feel better but mainly because my daily life has improved / I take greater care of myself.
I measured my blood calcium which is 0.01 points above limit, but honestly everytime I measured it it was slightly above high end, even 5 years ago, and last PTH blood test came low end of the range.
Since I do feel good I'm not extremely worried, but it's worrisome tho, any suggestion / insights how to survive with these levels ?
I wasn't expecting this AT ALL.
