My SO and I both read about the study that suggested an RDA of 8,000IU of vitamin D. I've started on 10,000IU every other day and haven't noticed much of an effect yet.

I too am a vampire and very pale skinned so I spend practically no time in the sun. I think I'm going to have to make a concerted effort to change that once winter is done here.

Regarding the other supplements you are taking: Do you have any links to literature/studies that support taking more Magnesium, Zinc, vitamin C, and lipoic acid? I have terrible time sleeping because I take Suboxone which disrupts my sleep something awful, so if there's anything else I could take to mitigate that effect, I definitely want to try it.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to get my blood tested for D and Iron, on the recommendation of my pain doc.

I hope you continue to get beneficial results from those supplements, I'm very glad to hear the ideation being beaten down. You rock!

Peace and Joy for the New Year

With regard to magnesium, I'd recommend you start at the Wikipedia entry for Magnesium Deficiency,[1] and read about all the common forms of magnesium supplements: Magnesium chloride, oxide, gluconate, malate, orotate, glycinate, ascorbate and citrate are all used as oral magnesium supplements.

Same with the others.
