I am currently taking a daily dose of vitamin D3 of 1000 IU. I am thinking of changing to a 10,000 IU weekly dose? Are there any drawbacks to this? Thank you!

Hello

There is no disadvantage, in my opinion, to taking this medication once a week. The effect of vitamin D remains as powerful in the area of osteoporosis at this dosage, in addition to reducing the number of pills to take.

That's why most of the patients I see take vitamin D at a rate of one tablet per week.

We look forward to seeing you,
