No, you didn't.
I was just pointing out, without being explicit, that you live in California and it still took you more than 5,000 IU/day to bring your values up.
Someone living further north, or someone who doesn't get much sun, or someone who is darker skinned, or someone who is very pale, or someone who is older, or someone who is heavier, or someone who already has deficiency symptoms will require a higher dose to reach normal/optimal vitamin D levels.
You are right...vitamin D supplementation needs are very individual. One sized dose does not fit all, lol!! |
