Hi and thanks for your input. I’ve been taking liquid drops without K, but I recently started splitting up the dose and taking it with olive oil to see if that helps absorption. After my next blood results, if I see no change, I plan to switch to 50,000 IU weekly, which was recommended by a specialist. Have you personally noticed a difference when adding K?

Hi @chaiyosef
I always had an issue increasing my vitamin D. Was as low as the 20’s and at best in the mid 30’s. And I’ve taken 5,000 IU daily for years.
A few months back someone in another support group mentioned that if you do not get enough magnesium, the vitamin d does not get absorbed.
So I started taking 400 mg of magnesium citrate, and my last blood test showed a vitamin d of 52 ng/ml
Adding the magnesium was the only thing I changed.
Do some research on this and see if you think it’s right for you.
Good luck.
