Do you take this supplement at night or with meals? When are you supposed to take it?

Hi, I was prescribed Vit D2 1.25 mg once a week for 8 weeks. So far I have taken 3 pills for 3 weeks. My arms are aching me and I had a couple of days of urinating a lot. Is this something that can happen when taking this? My doctor said my blood work showed low vit D and wrote me out a prescription for this. Trying to hang in there!!!

Yes, you can absolutely breastfeed while you are taking your vitamin D. In fact, if you are low right now, you SHOULD have been checked while you were pregnant and almost certainly should have been taking that dose MONTHS ago so that your baby was also sufficient in Vitamin D.

Be sure that you are ALSO supplementing your baby, as vitamin D takes time to build up in your body, and your baby will not be getting any vitamin D from your breastmilk until you have been vitamin D sufficient for many months. See my page on http:/­/­www.easy-immune-health.com/­vitamin-d-and-breastfeeding.html

Doctors believe that breastmilk is a poor source of vitamin D, but this is incorrect. It's an excellent source of Vitamin D... but only if mothers are sufficient in Vitamin D.

Hi all, my Vitamin-D is 10 mg/ml as the blood report reads. normal is 25 - 80 mg/ml.

I am starting to take D2 1.25 50000 units weekly for 12 week. I have read all the negative comments, but when someone takes a drug and has no side affects most are not going to come here. No reason to.

When you go to a restaurant and the food and service is great, do you tell the manager. If you have bad food and horrible service you are probably going to talk with the manager or owner. That is our nature.

I will post back after my first dose and give my opinion, positive or negative.

well the doctor told me the same thing but you shouldn't be having pain in your legs etc unless something is causing it. they need to find out what is causing it and explain why you have to take the vitamin D2.i found out my pain was not just pain it is lupus. But I pray yours is not the same. god bless

Overdose on Vitamin D2 is very unlikely if you are taking 50,000 IU's once a week. Even if you took your entire 8 week prescription all at once, overdose would be unlikely. Please take a look at the page on Overdose on Vitamin D to see why this is unlikely. What is more likely is that you are simple experiencing negative side effects from the Vitamin D. This is a separate problem from Vitamin D overdose.
