Never been to a doctor before as an adult. In fact, for the longest time, I was the type of person who planned to never go as I don’t want or need medication. However, I have a keen interest in nutrition and the prospect of having a blood test done could serve as a helpful tool to improve my health.

My Vitamin D was measured at 86 ng/mL with the reference range being between 30 and 100. Currently sitting at the high end of optimal.

I was very curious to see this measure as I have been taking 25,400 IU of oral vitamin D3 daily for the past 120 days with generally 1 hour weekly of sunbathing upon the Great Lakes region (when possible) sporting northern European fair skin.

I had a suspicion that oral supplementation alone would be insufficient for optimal levels but it appears they have worked just fine. 25K IU sounds like a high dosage but I have a firm belief the move from mcg to IU was in an intentional effort to help worsen the health of the general public while simultaneously scaring people away from sunshine. I combine D3 supplementation with K2, magnesium citrate, and vitamin A from a quality multivitamin while adhering to a carnivore diet.

I would suggest everyone here supplement vitamin D3 at a much higher dosage than the RDA.
