I've also seen an ongoing vitamin D study quoting 10,000IU per day to get people to the 40ng/ml level and this is still considered deficient. But there are some acknowleging <10,000UI per day to get into therange of 40-60ng/ml (50-70ng/ml being optimal):

I did see some reference to how upping your count requires a bit of welly in terms of supplementation so that you shift it with a load more and then settle. I can't seem to find the reference now though. Marie, any ideas on this?
It does seem to be aboutreduction of risk factors and how old RDA's are a long way out of date.
My mum has osteoporosis and so did her mum.

What type of transdermal do you use? I have the oil. From what I gather from the Ancient Minerals website, the oil is supposed to be best for levels of magnesium over things like the bath salt/flakes but not so sure on the creams. I wouldn't mind trying the creams though as the oil can make your clothes a little sticky unless you planon sitting in the buff for the 20 minutes of absorption!
Does the oil cause you problems because of it stinging?
Yeah, it is bysglicinate.
