Thanks for that link, the article was very interesting. I started taking 50,000 IU D3 once a week and get tested again at the end of January. I am tempted to tell my younger brother to get tested. Although he doesn't like taking supplements and he does live in South Florida and part of his work is outdoors, so hopefully he is not low!

I already take Boron and Zinc in my mineral supplement and I take a Magnesium supplement. Is K2 the same as Vitamin K? Or is it different?

K2 is very different. There are 2 types of K2 - MK4 and MK7. I think we should take both. I suggest you to research it.
Also, I think it's better to take 5000-10000IU every day as opposed to a larger dose once a week.

I saw a GI doc up at Shand's and he checked my Vit D and it was less than 12 (11 point something...) So he prescribed the 50k once a week and then 1k daily.

I'm 4 weeks into my "mega dose" and already notice a substantial decrease in my all over body aches.
