    "Fat tissue sops up vitamin D, so it's been proposed that it might be a vitamin D rainy-day fund: a source of the vitamin when intake is low or production is reduced. But studies have also shown that being obese is correlated with low vitamin D levels and that being overweight may affect the bioavailability of vitamin D."

    "Levels of the bioactive form of vitamin D tend to track with the health of the kidneys, so in someone with kidney disease, bioactive vitamin D levels decrease as the disease gets worse, and in end-stage kidney disease, the level is undetectable."

    That's me fucked then.

  • Yeah, I thought about obesity and liver issues, but calling a guy out as a fat drunk on the internet seemed a bit agressive. 😂

    Taking it with food helps with absorption, and iirc there’s a mineral that helps too.. magnesium or selenium maybe.

    I would increase dose to 3-4000 iu, and if that didn’t work, switch brand, and if that didn’t work, see a dietician.

  • fat drunk

    You rang?

    I'm going to take one cap with every meal and see what that does to levels.
