Thanks Colleen - The Vit D I get is included with my calcium pill.

Thanks Colleen. The DR has just tripled my V-D dosage from from when I started. Articles are conflicting so I will follow DR orders. It sure helps to research our meds.

These are scary high doses they're talking about. I take 1,000 units. That's less than a third of what they used in the study.... I'd be real careful.

I am pretty sure mine is 1000 also. I could not handle the calcium at all. The PCP I was seeing at that time said to at least get on Vit D.
