Is 50,000 Units too Much Vitamin D for Daily Intake?02/28/2007 |
50,000 units a day was prescribed for my mother who has severe osteoporosis. Her calcuim level in her blood was 2. Is 50,000 units too much vitamin D?
50,000 IU of vitamin D per week for 8 weeks is a common prescription for low vitamin D levels. Calcium is usually prescribed in the range of 1000 to 1200 mg per day in divided doses of approximately 500 mg at a time.
