How much have you been taking? 

I need 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml blood level.  Have been since 2015.  I took until 2018 just to get to 47 ng/ml .  Only a few days after increasing from 8,000 to 10,000 a day  I said this is sunshine in a bottle!  I am on prednisolone 10 mg/day maintenance dose because before starting GFD I had to take 30 or more mg/day for the fibromyagia for two years,  leading to secondary adrenal insufficiency.  The fibromyalgia was the result of gluten because now with vitamins replensished and no gluten I have no pain.

Normal level for a healthy lifeguard in summer is 70 - 90 ng/ml.  That is our body's self regulated level. 80ng/ml = 200 nmol/L. Depends on the lab.

Lupus activity level is also moderated by higher levels of vitamin D.  Because you need to avoid UV-B taking large amounts of vitamin D should have  been part of your Lupus protocol.  Unfortunately the laws passed in the fifties limits vitamin D research to less than or greater than 30 ng/ml, so you rarely see the studies that show what physiological normal level can do.  "Colon cancer data showing a reduction in the incidence of new cancer (linear) with postulated 0 point at 75 ng/mL;"

I get my 10,000 IU capules from Piping Rock. com.  250 capsules for $15.  Hard to find that high anywhere else.

Potential benefits of vitamin D for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus   In addition to the potential benefit of vitamin D replacement on SLE activity, patients will also avoid the excess morbidity and mortality associated with long-term deficiency of vitamin D.

Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought"

Back in the 1950s there was a manufacturing error in a baby formula that caused an epidemic of infant disease and deaths.  "As a result, legislation was instituted in Great Britain forbidding the fortification of any food or any product with vitamin D. This concern for vitamin D toxicity in children led to most of the world (including countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and South America) banning vitamin D fortification of milk."

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
