Has Anyone Been On Vit. D & Not Noticed Any Difference? - Vitamins & Supplements Message Board

Hi everyone. I tested 35 on the Vit. D scale of 35-100. My dr. put me on 50,000 i u per week. I have been on this for 5 weeks and haven't noticed anything.

Has anyone experienced this?

I thought for sure I'd notice some difference somehow.

Thank you.

My vit D was 18, I was put on 50K IU twice a week and after two months my vit D level was 50, and I haven't notice any difference.

Hopefully my bones noticed the difference.

I have been taking 1,000IU of Vitamin D for the past weeks, and I have not notice any difference, which will make sense. All the information I have found online suggest taking 1,000IU of Vitamin D for various of reasons, cancer prevention being the top reason, but they also stated that one will have take that amount for three years or so for any "decrease in various cancers". Vitamin D has been showed to prevent several types of cancer (i.e., colon cancer, etc) and other illnesses, but that is only after a long period use of at least 1,000IU of vitamin D.

You may not notice any changes, but your body is definitely feeling the changes

We may not always notice any changes when using vitamins, minerals, and herbs (probably more energy or whatever).

Hope that helps!

Thank you AuntieLeela and Nature Made. You both made me feel better with your posts.

As long as it's helping my bones and body, that's what counts.

Thank you very much for writing and letting me know I'm not alone with not noticing any difference.

vit d is important, but can be toxic at high doses--how long does your dr. want you on that high dose? i take 400u everyday (along with calcium and magnesium). it really won't make you "feel" any different, but your bones will thank you!
