Cholecalciferol for Vitamin D Deficiency "I was told by my doctor that I am Vitamin D deficient and should take 5000 IU of vitamin D per day. I began taking the supplement and within 36 hours began having HORRIBLE leg pains and muscle aches. The pain in my legs was so bad I could barely walk. I was also extremely nauseated, so much so that I couldn't eat. I stopped the Vitamin D and in no time the muscle pains and nausea were gone. I now take 1000 IU of Vitamin D per day with no side effects. I know it's less than my doctor wants me to take but that's too bad. Why do doctors insist on such enormous amounts of Vitamin D without considering the side effects??? I would rather be Vitamin D deficient than suffer the side effects of a 'therapeutic' dose of Vitamin D."

Cholecalciferol for Prevention of Fractures "I would like to add that you need to take sufficient magnesium along with the vitamin D in order to avoid the side effects of cramping and pain. The lysinate form is a good form of magnesium to take to avoid laxative effects of other forms. You need to take magnesium in order for vitamin D to work well. Good luck."

Cholecalciferol for Vitamin D Deficiency "I have been taking Vitamin D3 2000 IU for about two years. My doctor said I am vitamin D deficient. Well, I have pain and stiffness in my knee and a bad taste in my mouth. I am so glad I found this site. I will stop taking Vitamin D3. I did it before, and the pain and stiffness went away. I will get more Vitamin D3 from the sun."

For Prevention of Fractures "Started taking D3. I was so sick, my hips hurt. My back went out. I was dizzy and moody. Stopped taking it, was taking 10,000 mg a day. Thanks, but no thanks."
