may I ask how many of you take Vitamin D3 on a regular basis? And how much you take?
My doctor wants me to take 6000mg daily for about 2 months, then 2000 mg for the rest of my life.
I am just curious how much you all take?

I asked my Dr. about supplements and she said Vitamin D, 1000-2000IU a day, and fish oil. I take 1000IU of D3 along with fish oil and a low dose aspirin for inflammation. I don't know if it helps, but is worth a try. I was taking other "immune system" supplements like E and EmergenC, which has other vitamins in it, but then decided that I didn't want to 'encourage' my immune system to create more havoc, so I stopped those. I would be interested in what kind of supplements some of you all are taking, and if you think it is helpful?
