ETA: And I was taking it with food, so not sure what the problem was... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitamin-d-supplements#post-1540610 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 16:35:16 +0000 deactivated_account 1540610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@doxielove: @Kimberlybee: @Cole: Thanks!

I notice if I forget to take it for a week or so. My levels were really low and my doctor had me take a larger dose for 3 months and then drop it to the 4,000. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitamin-d-supplements#post-1540318 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 15:13:37 +0000 sarac 1540318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: huge boost in energy and also in my mood. I have to be careful to take it in the mornings, though, or it messes up my nighttime sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitamin-d-supplements#post-1540309 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 15:10:26 +0000 spaniellove 1540309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take a 2500iu gummy and it's great for my mood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitamin-d-supplements#post-1540246 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 14:54:10 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1540246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: Yep!

If so, how many "IU" do you take? </p> <p>I've had a vitamin D deficiency for two years now. I'm planning to add a 2,000 IU supplement along with the 1,400 IU I already get through my prenatal vitamins. I'm meeting with my doctor in a couple weeks to discuss this but would love to hear what you girls are doing in the meantime. </p>
