It’s fine to take it with other vitamins. I take mine in the morning along with everything else. The timing isn’t important though.

Any particular way we should be supplementing this? Morning, night etc? I also take a multi so best to take away from that I’d imagine?

Vitamin D is also good for your immune system and bone density. I take 6000 IU a day.

I am a huge proponent of eating correctly to build muscle and have that body that is chiselled.

Thanks for the post. I look at things on more of a macro view, rather than looking in the details, and never really tried supplements myself, except for creatine. I think |I may have to start supplementing with Vitamin D after reading this! 🙂

Some side effects of taking too much vitamin D include weakness, fatigue, sleepiness, headache, loss of appetite, dry mouth, metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, and others.

Taking vitamin D for long periods of time in doses higher than 4000 units per day is POSSIBLY UNSAFE and may cause excessively high levels of calcium in the blood. However, much higher doses are often needed for the short-term treatment of vitamin D deficiency. This type of treatment should be done under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

Kidney disease: Vitamin D may increase calcium levels and increase the risk of “hardening of the arteries” in people with serious kidney disease. This must be balanced with the need to prevent renal osteodystrophy, a bone disease that occurs when the kidneys fail to maintain the proper levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. Calcium levels should be monitored carefully in people with kidney disease.

Mark i’m **** at swallowing capsules.
I know vitamin D is best digested in some sort of fat, so I bought mine in drop form (in olive oil) – I’m assuming that’s probably the best alternative to capsules?

It’s important to be sure supplements contain exactly what the label says. ConsumerLabs rates supplement manufacturers and frequently finds differences between what the label claims and what’s actually in the pills, sometimes lower sometimes dangerously higher than reported.

For those of us in the US, Puritan’s Pride is a good mail order source of supplements and rated to have very good quality control.

I have no affiliation with either of these companies other than being a satisfied consumer.

@Rio. I only know of animal studies on it so I’m not convinced. Still, ephedrine is your best bet for a fat loss aid that works.
