Re: Vit D Can be bad for you
Libbylou, My Vitamin D was low. I supplemented with a liquid Vitamin D and over-corrected. I wasn't concerned, because that means the supplement was effective! I backed off, then my Vit D levels went too low again. So now I've adjusted to the dose that keeps me in the 80-range. I hope it's ok to men...
