Trying to choose supplements carefully

I read that Tymlos "eats" Vitamin D3 . Taking 3,000 units kept my level exactly the same for those two years. I noted it went up slightly when I finished. My level is in the 50's. I don't want it to go too high. So I am trying 2,000 units now that I am off Tymlos and will recheck to see if it went down or is stable. I may stick with 3,000 in the winter and 2,000 in the summer: we'll see!

Hi windyshores. I'm about to start Forteo. Do you know if Forteo "eats" Vit D like Tymlos? Also, did Tymlos affect your blood calcium, hence, the 800mg calcium?

My vitamin D level dropped to 21 after I started taking Tymlos. It took a dose of vitamin D 5,000 iu 3x/d to bring level to 52. Will continue taking this dose and recheck level in May.
