I was sick for nearly 4 years, then my doctor decided to do a vitamin D blood test on me. My levels were so low they were almost zero. I've been taking 9,000UI of vitamin D3 every day for the last 3 years and I 've never felt better, and I havent been sick a single day in those 3 years. The RDA needs to change!

everyone should have a blood test for Vitamoin D,and not be charge.In Ontario they charge for this.Low levels can cause alot of very exspensive diseases,so why not try and prevent them.Not everyone has the $35.00 to have this blood test done

vitamin D is inexpensive and so important. Why can't the medical profession stop being lead by the pharmaceutical industry and do what they should be doing instead of just pumping us with drugs once we are sick? It's shameful that something so simple as an inexpensive vitamin that is proven to work is not made available to us in the dosages required.

Adequate Vitamin D3 levels are absolutely critical to women's health and the aging population in general. Not one physician considered that my physical pain could be a direct result of a very serious Vitamin D3 deficiency. Health care costs for individuals as well as government could be significantly reduced by simply addressing Vitamin D3 deficiencies.
