Observation, Vit d levels

Gabes-Apg · Post by **Gabes-Apg** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 4:19 pm

As some (or most) will be aware, in the past couple of months I was made redundant, and moved interstate to be closer to family.
I have not had close contact with my family for about 8 years. Aside from the physical stress of the move in the peak of summer weather, there was a bit of mental and emotional stress as I embraced this new chapter of my life.

Prior to the move, in Oct my Vit d3 level was 116 (290 in the Aussie measurement)
3 months later the level has dropped to 56 (140 in Aussie measurement)

I have been having 3500-5000 iu per day sub lingual, the whole time.

This outcome has reiterated that during stressful events/situations how quickly the level can drop.

Thanks for the reminder Gabes. It's the end of the school year-- always a stressful time. Your post reminded me to get back on D3.

Wow Gabes. This is very telling and I thank you for sharing. I'm in the same boat as Carol and need to up my levels. Carol, is it busier for you this year?

Gabes, What brand do you use?

The brand is Bio-ceuticals.
Mine is the forte, each drop has 1000iu
They also have a 300iu drop
In Australia it is classed as a practitioner range, a naturopath, or pharmacist are the only ones that can supply it.
One of my closest friends is a naturopath, and I have purchased it from good quality local pharmacy.

I think Joe found the equivalent via his local compounding pharmacy.

Bio-ceuticals also have Vit B12 sublingual spray, and soy free CoQ10 sub lingual tablet.
