Thorne Vitamin D/K2
Hi B. & Daniel,
Just received Thorne vitamin D/K2 from iherb.
It says to take 2 drops one to three times a day. dat
My reading is 29 ng/ml according to functional DX.
How much should I take and do I drop the drops under the tongue or mix it in water and then drink it.
Thank you.

I would advise you to combine it with food. It wil be better absorbed since they are both fat-soluble vitamins. I never recommended my clients to divide the dosage over the day. You can take it all at once.
With levels of 29 mg/ml, I recommend my customers usually to start with 2000 IU (or 50 mcg) vitamin D daily for a few months and then measure their serum vitamin D. However…
Were you already taking vitamin D before your functional DX? If so, how much and how long? To get serum vitamin D concentration in the optimal zone, there are some personal differences as well.
For example, to keep my vitamin D levels in the optimal zone I personally need 4500 IU daily.
Here is a handout that I would recommend you to take a look at as well. It goes in depth on vitamin D and vitamin D supplementation.

Daniel, yes, I was taking Biotics Research ADEK. I think I was taking 5 drops, but I’m surprised it made no difference. Could it be due to being an emulsion, it didn’t work for me. I can’t remember how long I was taking it for.
I’m now without vitamin A ☺️ which I need for stomach healing. Am I right?
Oh, could I add the drop to the food?
Thank you for directing me to the handout which is very useful and downloaded.

and
Seeking Health are out of Vitamin A liquid form. Apex do it which you mentioned is fine. I was about to order the latter, but they talk about Beta Carotene and Seeking Health version is retinol.

retinol is the better form. Biotics Research also have a good one called Bio-Ae which is the one I have.
