Vitamin D Prescriptions

Why Is Prescription Vitamin D Given Once a Week?

Why Is Prescription Vitamin D Given Once a Week?

When I was diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency, the norm seems to be a 50,000 IU pill once a week. Why isn't the prescription for 7,200 per day instead to balance the intake?

How long does it take the body to process the 50,000 IUs?

Vitamin D Once a Week- why not once every 3 months instead?
by: Kerri Knox, RN-The Immune Health Queen!

Hi Amy,

I'm not sure what you mean by a 'balanced

intake', giving vitamin D once a week IS balanced- and actually unnecessary. It has been shown that giving it once every 3 MONTHS is just as effective!

I actually just answered this question in depth on a blog post, so I'll refer you to it Here.

But every substance has it's length of action. If I were to give you magnesium, I would want you to take it up to 5 times per day, because that's what's effective, but Vitamin D can be taken once every 3 months and you'll be just fine.


But really pay attention to the blog post, your question really shouldn't be 'Why is Vitamin D given only once a week?', but 'Why is my doctor prescribing me a completely inferior form of Vitamin D?'


Hope that I answered your questions.
