Good evening @teb and @cookiegirl1944. I commend your both for doing your homework and checking out everything that might affect your bone health. And thanks, once again to @windyshores for sharing her experience with others. We all have to make our own decisions and then evaluate the outcome. I truly believe in shared decision-making with our medical professionals......they are my true health partners.

My purpose this evening is to mention my vitamin D3 experience with my new endocrinologist at Mayo Clinic. He strongly suggested that I avoid not only the falls but also the cognitive decline issues that are associated with way too much D3. I was taking 5,000 IU. He wanted me to reduce it to no more than 1,000 IU daily. There was no reason to disagree with him. And so I immediately adjusted my dosage. Then my life partner was told the same thing by his PCP. Evidently, there is substantive research that supports this recommendation for folks who are in our age bracket.

Please validate the research that you have found and do whatever is necessary to avoid an inappropriate and unwanted response from D3.

May you all be content and have a life of peace and ease.
Chris
