    Anyone else takes 50,000 IU of vitamin D once a week? Was it safe or anything negative happened to you?

    Drisdol is the brand name. As a pharm tech I dispense it quite a bit. I've seen a few patients take 50k iu DAILY! :0

    Thanks, I thought 50,000 iu once a week gel tap was a little risky. My blood work showed my vitamin d at the number range 11.

    1-2 caps per week is the norm of how I see it dispensed.

    Out of curiosity.... what is your complexion like? Are you dark skinned or on the light side?

    Do you take any mineral supplements?

    I'm caucasian, with the typical mediterranean spanish or italian look. I don't take any mineral supplements and I'm 10 pounds overweight with the bad cholesterol at 229.
