vit d

hi
i fellow   every conversation in this forum and i remark that vit d and hep b has a relation
in my last check of blood i have a decrease of vit d  17(i forget the unit)but normally it should b over 34
i dont know it is the effect of hep b or i am not exposed enough to sun(i live in paris)so the doc give me 1 empoule of 1.000000in a moth for 3 monthes and i should stop
my question is should i take more vit d or not?
thanks

we all know from years that chronic infections hijack vit d pathways and hbv does so too

taking one big dose doesn t have healthy effects, you have to mimic sun exposure which is daily doses, you can start with 10.000iu daily and keep it until vitd25oh gets to 50-80ng/ml then lower to 5000iu to find maintenance dose

sun doesn t work because the d pathway is not like for healthy people

be careful to use d3 which is the natural form, some doctors prescribe the useless d2 form which is synthetic and doesn t work but it is patented so drug makers make money from it, a good example of corrupt doctors
