Dear Lactnet Friends: I am enrolled in the GrassrootsHealth.net Vitamin D project. Every 6 months, I receive a packet for a spot blood test. My initial D3 levels (after supplementing with 400 IU and being outside in the sun and exercising) was 28, below the reference range of 32-100 ng/ml. Now, after boosting my supplementation to 6,000 IU a day, my level is 79 ng/ml. I use a product that contains 2,000 IU per drop; I take 3 drops a day. Whee! Have I noticed any changes? I haven't been sick at all this winter, but I am not often sick. I can't say as I have noticed any big change, aside from feeling a higher level of health that started about one month after supplementation. However, that is a totally subjective impression. warmly, -- Nikki Lee RN, BSN, Mother of 2, MS, IBCLC, CCE, CIMI, ANLC craniosacral therapy practitioner www.breastfeedingalwaysbest.com *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
