Why do doctors prescribe high doses of Vitamin D?
Post Body
The National Institutes of Health guidelines state that the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of Vitamin D for someone 19-50 years old is 600 IU. However, when a doctor finds someone’s Vitamin D levels are low they often prescribe doses that are 50,000 IU or greater. I haven’t seen this done for other vitamins. What is unique about Vitamin D that makes the high dose necessary? Why can’t you just start taking a daily supplement in the ballpark of the RDA?
