Holy shit this stuff's magic, I've been doing 5000 IUs a day for about a fortnight now and I feel great. Fapped twice yesterday and today I already feel hornier and more energetic than I did back when I fell for the nofap meme. Honestly feel like I can take on the world.
>>37709419
Been doing this too, actually feel like I'm looking leaner and more volumeous after only a few days? Could just be my imagination
>>37709427
It is
>>37709432
East German olympic team was doing this though, and many countries still have athletes sit under sun lamps
>>37709427
Apparently if you're deficient (which 90% of the people on this shithole probably are because they all sit indoors on an Azerbaijani toad-licking forum) fixing the deficiency can boost your test a shitton, like if you hopped on a fake natty cycle.
I've had the same experience. A lot of people are living with a chronic vitamin D deficiency. Unfortunately the recommended doses of supplements you can get through the doctprs are usually so low they won't do much. I order pills of 3000 ius now and take 1-3 a day depending on the weather. It's pretty amazing how much it influences your general mood and well being.
>>37709439
good thing I sit by my window
>>37709439
My mom had a deficiency and she is a gardener. If you live in Northern Europe it doesn't really matter how much time you spend outside, you're pretty much doomed. If I have kids I'm putting them on supplements right away.
>hahaha so edgy I'm trying to get random people on the internet killed!

>Azerbaijani toad-licking forum

>>37709464
Yeah I'm sure that'd have the same effect as being outside in the sun wearing nothing but shorts all day.
>>37709476
You'd need more than 25,000 IUs a day for months on end to so much as start feeling at all unwell from it
Is it that good or a meme? I was on 3000UI by a doctor but it didn't seem like much, do I need 5000?
I also never go outside at all.
>>37709483
I mean, the window is open and the sunlight hits me directly while shirtless. I'm also naturally pale so don't need much, and anyways I walk my dog everyday
>>37709487
5000 IUs is the standard amount you can easily get from a health/supplement store (in the UK anyway, sunnier countries might be 1-3000). Go off what a doctor says over borderline autistic teenage bodybuilders on the internet though.

>>37709419
I just got ao.e yesterday. I hope I have as positive results as you. Only have the 2000iu pills though. Should I take it twice a day?
>>37709555
it helps with that? Winter days almost make me want to stop lifting or do anything
>>37709584
deficiency are real but you didn't have one and you are making stuff up
>>37709678
I live in the UK and spend barely any time outside, also I've had relatives diagnosed with it and had some symptoms myself.
>>37709698
okhay
Look it up on examine.com
I have depression-like episodes during these months
Last winter I stopped lifting and eating and lost like 12 pounds
Also failed a bunch of classes
Right now i'm feeling good and I'm up 20 pounds again since februari
vit d3 kan help a lot with depression, lack of energy etc
>>37709419
decided to look up some stuff about that, here's an article that seems pretty legit (all sources cited) if anyone's interested
http://www.vrp.com/bone-and-joint/vitamin-d3-higher-doses-reduce-risk-of-common-health-concerns
>>37709720
>>37709741
I'll look into it
>>37709720
Man that's probably my issue. I was working out everyday and going up 2.5/5lbs per week. Did that from August last year to January. But then... I suddenly stopped. I don't know what happened. I felt depressed and unmotivated.
>>37709755
Try it out, 30 days worth of 5000iu per day is cheap. I will start supplementing in september again
I found Vit D really good for my mood/energy/libido.
But after usng it for a couple of months i noticed that my hair started thinning.
I was NW -1 with the thickest hair a human could possibly have. now im NW1 with diffuse thinning.
Anyone else experienced this? I was also using zinc
>>37709419
>summer of 2016
>living in some god-forsaken hellhole where the sun never shines
shiggy diggy desu senpai
I get your point though. People who live in generally cloudy places might go their entire lives thinking they're miserable or depressed, but if you're used to widely varying sun exposure throughout the year, you definitely notice the effect.
Get some sun or chug that D, bros. Shit's essential.
>>37709768
I thought vit d helped against hair loss, especially when deficient?
>more energy
Maybe your test levels are higher what causes the hairloss?
>>37709768
think you're just getting older brah
>>37709789
this happened when i was 21. im 23 now and its still going despite stopping supplements
it was very sudden and coincided with beggining the supplement use
>>37709807
>nw1
That's literally just a mature hairline.
Yeah, you'll go bald eventually, but not until you're like 80. You also can't be white or have high testosterone without one.
>>37709419
I started taking vitamin d3 as well as omega 3 and creatine about 2 weeks ago as well. The combination is wonderful.
More energy, more focus, better skin complexion, higher libido, and I don't know if it's a coincidence but I've noticed the empty patches on my beard have started to fill in recently.
been taking 5,000 IUs for months. i feel the same tbqh
i get about 20 minutes of sunlight though. should i take 10,000 IUs?
>>37709829
>You also can't be white or have high testosterone without one.
What do you mean by this?
I'm mixed (white black)
Also up until 21/22 I had NW-1 and built muscle incredibly easily and was naturally good at most sports. so I doubt it was low testosterone
>>37709471
Was she non-white?
>>37709852
>>37709829
Also I should say that my grandfather is 90 with a full head of hair. (not an exaggeration. )
>>37709559
The reason whites evolved to have lighter skin was to absorb more vitamin D You mong...
>>37709788
>Maybe your test levels are higher what causes the hairloss?
Maybe. I did notice that my libido increased massively. (started noticing 5/10s walking around me as being hot)
although I have never been low testosterone because I had no issues putting on a lot of muscle and being good in sports
>>37709419
I'm nocturnal, literally sleep all day/stay up all night. Is vitamin D Just a meme /fit/
I was diagnosed with a deficiency when I was younger and was givin vitamin D Vitamins but I didn't notice anything afterwards. I do drink alot of whole milk now though which has vitamin D In it but idk. Somebody tell me cus I don't wanna take it if it's just a meme...
>>37709855
Nope, we're both very pale.
>>37709537
They really are though, being better/feeling better because of pills that do jack shit? Thats fucking great
>>37709869
How do you know you are not low test???
YOU CANT KNOW
FUCKING IDIOTS.
BLABLABLA I'M HIGH TEST CUZ I GOT HORNY.
NEWSFLASH CUNTGOBBLER IT IS NOT A PROOF OF HIGH TEST! FUCKING FAGGOTS
>>37709741
Good article, good sources.
Thanks bruh!
>>37710168
I believe that im not low testosterone because I have never experienced any of the symptoms of low testosterone.
Never had a blood test though
>>37709899
You have to take like a lot for it to have any effect.
If you take like 5000 IU its basically safe sterons
>>37710228
Are you memeing? I can't tell. Pls be serious brehs I don't wanna fall for a meme.
>>37710533
No srsly try it and look up the toxicity of vitamin d3 if you want extra proof that 5000 IUs a day is incredibly safe
>>37710533
If you live in a sunless shithole ie. Ireland or Britain or if you are a basement dweller then yes, go for it. You can also ask your doctor about it.
Question, doesn't D3 need at least some sunlight to actually have a effect
>>37710664
legit question, bumping
>>37710664
I think sunlight is what triggers the natural reaction in the skin that causes vitamin d synthesis, as I understand it supplementing with d3 does the same thing without the need for sunlight.
Thanks retards, finally something of worth on this fucking board
Vitamin D benefits are not cumulative. They have done grip strength tests on people with deficiency and noticed that medium doses (<5000 IU) made the biggest difference.
>>37711302
they should give all old people vit d3
>less falling risk
>stronger bones
>works wonders against dementia etc
>better quality of life

>>37709419
Breh. I can't handle this shit.
Started taking 4000 IUs last week after seeing some threads pop up here and now I'm popping random wood like its middle school. Now I have to spend a good portion of my day trying to hide this shit.
What kind of sorcery is this?!
>>37711414
It's literally like a low dose test cycle if you're deficient
>>37709419

>>37711414
You need vitamin d and cholesterol to synthesize androgens, so basically this
>>37711422
Just walk around in the sun 20 minutes and you have your fucking dose of vitamin D you stupid fucking retards, damn.

OK srs question here brahs...
I go to bed every morning at about 7am wake up at around 5 pm. I'm a legit nocturnal shut in NEET. I drink alot of whole milk that's fortified with the stuff, but if I start taking vitamin D3 daily will it be like I'm on roids or nah?
If yes can I still keep my natty card?
>>37709419
Good for you Anon, Vitamin D deficiency is possibly the largest cause of lower than average test. It effects so many micro absorptions in the human body that the slightest deficiency can cause debilitating harm.
Don't forget to get your daily 10-15 minutes of sun though, the effect on cellular processes is important.
>>37712997
how about fix ur sleeping pattern retarded fuck
sstop smoking weed or whatever ur doing
>>37709419
Vitamin D is a hormone that's basically at the base of your body operation. Immune system, muscle function, nerve function, etc.
Get your levels to between 60-80ng/ml for optimum. 40-60ng/ml is just fine, 60-80 shows more disease resistant stats.
Most everybody in the US has low to deficient levels. So yeah, taking some can provide a 'boost', but it's really more like getting closer to how you should feel.
>>37713031
I browse /fit/ and work out when I'm not sleeping. Pls answer my question please.
>>37713032

>>37713088
>No its not, it's a vitamin you doofus
If you're fucking stupid, then yes, yes it is a vitamin.
>>37713253
>Fellow fitizens please help me how much vit D should I be supplementing if I'm a 6'2" 79kg 19yo lad?
You need enough to get your level up to between 60-80ng/ml, however much that is.
Being a fat soluble hormone, you can take days worth, a weeks worth, a month's worth, 3 months worth, 6 month's worth all at once (though it has a 3 month halflife so not a lot of reason to do 6 months worth at once).
Vit D researchers recommend 5,000i.u.'s per day as a maintenance dose. That may or may not be enough to bring your levels up.
>>37713309
Much appreciated
>>37709518

>>37709451
>Unfortunately the recommended doses of supplements you can get through the doctprs are usually so low they won't do much.
Additionally, 'prescription' vit d is normally Vit D2, which raises levels but confers little to no benefits.
Make sure you supp with D3.
>>37712130
>Just walk around in the sun 20 minutes and you have your fucking dose of vitamin D you stupid fucking retards, damn
Hey retard.
There is no vit d in the sun north of San Francisco to Boston October through April.
Studies have been done on beach goers/sun bathers in Hawaii, and guess what, low/deficient vit d levels there as well.
There are reasons for this.

It's summer, just go out take a sunbath.
I started taking 5000IUs daily during the winter, didn't really notice a difference in the way I felt.
I figured if anyone would it would be me because even when I am in the sun during Summer I have a pound of sunscreen on because I'm so white.
>>37715189
For half of the world...
>>37709471
Yeah mang, I'm Ethiopian and live in Northern Europe and I got literal gyno because I couldn't absorb any vitamin D3 from the sun. White people complain about D3 defiency but don't understand we nigs can't absorb anything at all from the sun if we don't live in sub Saharan Africa. I was deficient as hell, ever since I started with vitamin D3 my erections went through the roof
>>37713541

>>37715822
>Do I really need vit d supplements if I drink 2 liters of fortified milk everyday?
Is your level between 60-80ng/ml?
>>37710664
So UV rays convert cholesterol into cholecalciferol (the same thing in supplements) but this is not the active form of vitamin D3. Cholecalciferol needs to go through a series of reactions in the liver and then the kidney to become the active form. Luckily, most people can absorb cholecalciferol in the intestines. Short answer: no you don't need the sunlight to activate supplemental vitamin D3.
>>37709419
Honest question. If I run m w f for 35 minutes and go from building to car to building at least 5 times a day for work, do I need to take supplements?

>>37716725
Theyre right in the average, I do take some vit D when its not summer though. You know that they found in studies that more is not actually better and the lowest mortality was for an average vit D level as opposed to a high one.
>>37716774
>Theyre right in the average, I do take some vit D when its not summer though. You know that they found in studies that more is not actually better and the lowest mortality was for an average vit D level as opposed to a high one.
Define 'average. Define 'high'. So we know what we're talking about here.
40-60ng/ml is just fine. 60-80ng/ml is optimal. No increased benefit over 80ng/ml has been found.
>>37716774
>You know that they found in studies that more is not actually better and the lowest mortality was for an average vit D level as opposed to a high one.

But it is the point, no autist required. Your levels are either where they should be, or they're not.
If you've been drinking that much Vit D fortified milk, and your levels are low, that will tell you something different than if your levels are elsewhere in the range.
How much one intakes is only relevant when compared to one's level. You're either intaking enough for you, or your're not.
>>37717394
>And baldness !

>>37717368
>In the first place vit d isn't in the sun.
Correct. It's a colloquial way of saying "
The further you live away from the equator, the less vitamin D you can make during the winter, if at all.
The equator is an imaginary line on the Earth’s surface halfway between the North Pole and South Pole, which divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The further away you are from the equator, the more of an angle the sun will hit the atmosphere at, and the less UVB there will be available for you to produce vitamin D, particularly during the winter time.
In the summer, when the Earth rotates, the angle improves and more UVB reaches the places far away from the equator, allowing you to produce vitamin D outside of winter months.
For example, in the southern United States, in places like Florida, your body can produce vitamin D most of the year, while in more northern places, like New York City or Boston, you can’t produce much vitamin D from November through March. If you live even further north, like in Edmonton, Canada, you can’t produce vitamin D from October through April. These times are even longer (by a month or two) if you’re skin type is darker."
As was said, wisdom is to be found on le interwebz.
>>37717486

It is just that saying "there is no vit d in the sun" is fucking retarded. Colloquial my ass.
Been using D3 for a couple months. 4000 IU from Kmart, 100 tabs for $6.
Totally worth it. My friends have noticed my attitude change, I have more energy, I enjoy the little things again and I suddenly started speaking Latvian.
Been taking 1000iu all winter/spring and my levels came out at 74ng. You don't need 5k, nice meme guys.

Welp.
>>37718122
You're not getting enough D. Take rectally 3x a week.
>>37718099
Daily absorption from sun is based on dozens of different factors. So some people will be ok with 1,000 iu such as you, some will need more. In addition to this, a very large portion of the population have some sort of defect in their Vitamin D receptor genes(VDR), such as VDR-taq and will surely need more, especially if not getting a good daily absorption from the sun(ex: darker skinned, older, spends time indoors).
>>37718144
I'm on 15000 IU,taken with a fat. It's enough.
>>37718172
Not vitamin D, just good old D.
hm, i haven't noticed a difference. i got a blood test and doc told me my levels were "ok, could be better" and that i should start taking 4,500 IUs (i was taking only 500 at the time). i haven't noticed a change in mood since i upped the dose, though. probably too distracted by spring tbqh, cause my mood does skyrocket once winter is over.
are you supposed to take calcium with vitamin d?
>>37718262
Dont have to. Vitamin D's cofactors include zinc, magnesium, boron, vitamin A, and vitamin K
Is there a list of essential minerals that humans are deficient or are not getting enough of?
what's IN? Started lifting along with an experienced friend couple days ago
>>37718431
IU I mean
>>37718449
International Unit
>>37718449
In pharmacology, the international unit is a unit of measurement for the amount of a substance; the mass or volume that constitutes one international unit varies based on which substance is being measured, and the variance is based on the biological activity or effect, for the purpose of easier comparison across substances. International units are used to quantify vitamins, hormones, some medications, vaccines, blood products, and similar biologically active substances.

what are you talking about nigger
you can get a bottle of 5000 IU on amazon for like 10 bucks

Why not just inject in your arse guys. My doctor gave a vitamin d injection.
10,000 IU master race here
I used to take 5000 IU's a day and it's a shit idea even for night workers.
I got awful acne cysts all over my forehead and I'm still dealing with the redness and scars many months later. If you are prone to acne at ALL, 5000 IU's will make it worse if taken over a month.
Trust me, it's too much. It will build up in your system. Take 1000-2000 IU's a night TOPS.
Ignore me if you want but you will feel the concequences.

Not that anon, but Vitamin D is a hormone.

>tfw even nature is telling you to fuck off back to africa.
>>37709419
Wouldn't do more than 5000 IU cause on higher doses your body produces a vitamin d derivative that gets in the way and inhibits the vitamin d you've taken
I'm depressed will it cure me?
>>37721710
maybe

i tried them once but forgot after a while
is there a way to test how much do i need and the most important is there a way to get enough of them naturaly without getting too much tan
>>37721758
I wonder about this. If I want to tan and/or get some of that joocy vit d, but don't want that nasty cancer, what do I do? Does sunblock also block the D?

>Vitamin D doesn't penetrate glass
Holy fuck are you that retarded
Vitamin D is created inside of your body when your skin is in contact with the sun. Do you really think the sun itself produces vitamin D?
>>37722216
>when your skin is in contact with the sun.
Do i need a spaceship to get vitamin D?
I thought it's dangerous to look at teh Sun even to go there.
Sorry I am from Uganda. English is not my mother tongue and I never was tought maths in school but I want to be big and strong so Kweme's father will let me marry her.
>>37722276
b8 better
Came across this thread and just took 4000 IU for shits n giggles, pray 4 me so I can become chad thundercock
>>37720924
It's called vitamin D3, not hormone D3 stupid ass.

Just because english is an official language of Uganda, it doesn't mean most people don't grow up speaking a tribal languages. Uganda is a fake meme country like most sub-Saharan countries.
>>37722216
what part of my body do I have to touch Sun for maximum Vit D gains, assuming I don't evaporate in a fraction of a second millions of miles away from it?
>>37722524
Penis, taint, and asshole.

Fix your sleeping pattern, honestly I appreciate the fact that I sleep from 11pm-7am every night as much as I appreciate the fact that I eat clean and lift. Seriously a good sleeping pattern will do you the world of good and shouldn't take more than a couple of days to get going.
>>37716057
Yes I take 5 1000 IU pills a day to get 5000 IU
>>37716586
It depends on the climate and weather in your country and how much of your skin is covered but it wouldn't hurt
>>37709419
Fucking tell me about it. Been Taking Vit. D3 5000IU, 15mg of Zinc and 2 pills Optimen every day for a month now. I feel like I could fucking take on the world, even though I'm on a cut. Shit is awesome.
>>37722689
My sleeping pattern is consistent Breh you didn't even answer my quetion...
>>37718899
kek
Opinions on zinc or magnesium? Which one is most beneficial if you had to choose? Does it just make you feel better or actually improve lifting?
>10,000 iu
is this overkill?
>>37723146
neither will do anything unless you're deficient. vitamins generally don't function on a "more is better" basis. you just want enough to function optimally, and that should in most cases be achieved through your diet.
>>37723159
Depends on where you live.
Not harmful though, some submariners take 40,000 IU before going under due to the long half life of Vit D.
Just take 1 every two days.
just checked the pills I got to combat SAD last winter. They're 200IU, it says this is 100% RDA. Anyone have studies showing benefit of doses 25x higher than this?
>>37709518
Everyone is shitposting, but he's right in effect. The UV radiation that your body uses to create vitamin D doesn't go through glass, which in thermodynamic terms is very opaque andbl blocks a lot of radiation.
Go outside, lurking beside a window thinking you're better than the other basement dwelling retards isn't helping anything.
>>37723273
yeah I wrote one google 'vitamin d3 dosage debate' to find it
>>37718077
> I suddenly started speaking Latvian.
Can anyone else confirm this?
>>37722906
It's consistent but it isn't congruent to your environment, falling asleep before midnight and waking up before 8pm is absolutely god tier srs.
>>37722883
I've been taking 50mg of zinc (GNC). Is that safe ?
What are some other recommended supplements to take?
Currently I take:
>vitamin d
>biotin
>>37724085
If the bottle says that's the dose yes
>>37724426
Creatine
ZMA
Fish oil
>>37724085
Up to 100mg is safe, but thats from both supplements and diet, so 50mg is enough from pills
Are you taking vit d in pills or is anyone using spray? Do they work the same, is one form better than the other?
I was looking at this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/BetterYou-DLux-3000-Vitamin-Spray/dp/B00AWNART4/
It's pretty much only vit d i can get in my country that has UI higher than 500. But I was wondering if effect is worse because it is a spray.
>>37724601
What country?
I'm UK and I got 10000 IU pills from Amazon
>>37724653
Slovenia, didn't intend to buy from amazon (disgusting delivery rate).
But i do need some other stuff too, so there is a possibility i decide for amazon. Which would you recommend? Solgar, nu u, nature wise maybe?
So should I pop 5000 UI every day?
>>37725568
Start at like 1000 and see how it affects you.
>>37709518
whoever falls for this bait is beyond saving kek
>>37715756
yeh, your not supposed to be in Northern Europe, so get out and get back to Ethiopia.
