D3 and Calcium

What's everyone's take on using these supplements during triple therapy? I understand the treatment works havoc on bones and teeth.

I take Replesta which is 50,000 units of D3 once a month on triple.  I was taking 50,000 units once a week in order to bring the D level up.  I don't think there is any reason to discontinue what your husband is taking.

I did read that thread - but the research links, as well as other research I've seen don't apply to triple TX. I can't find solid info that relates to Incivek. One poster said their Dr. said yes to D3. My husband has been taking 400 mg D3 for years and his D levels are great going into tx. Just want them to stay that way. I'll check with his Dr.
Thanks.
