Because some are higher in mercury than others.-------Jackie Anybody know about this? -----------I know if you are low, then it is important to supplement it. You need it to properly absorb minerals, like calcium, and it probably has other benefits, that I can't think of right now. It is a fat soluable vitamin, meaning your body stores it, so you can become toxic in it if you take way too much. (Not like Vit C, where your body just gets rid of the excess and it doesn't build up and harm you.) So take what your doctor recommends, and it should be something that he rechecks the level of once in awhile, because once you bring your levels up, he should reduce your dosage. I am currently taking 3000iu a day, per a doctor, but should have it retested. I am switching doctors, and will have to ask the new one to do it.---------Jackie Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
