>I was also very depleted in D, so I'm on 5,000 mg/day.

In case it's relevant to you, for an adult, Andy suggests about 1200IU

with 2000IU as an upper limit. He scales to weight for kids.

I don't know exactly where he gets this though. I do know that

alternative med doctors suggest 5000IU. I also know that the skin makes

about 20,000IU in a day if the right UVB light is present.

>As well, the darker the urine colour in general, the more dehydrated

this means you are.

Yes, that's right - I agree. It can get a really deep yellow, and kind

of turbid, if the urine is too concentrated, which particularly happens

when you wake up in the AM.

>Are you spreading the water-soluble supplements (B, C, biotin, herbs)

over the entire day?

>Ive stopped taking Vit B at the moment due to the side effects

mentioned. As for vit C, E etc i take them morning and nightly.

>I only get really orange urine when taking Vit B, if anything during

the day its more see through because i drink alot of water!

, you should take your Bs. Like C, it's water soluble and can't

do any harm.

Have you considered trying brewer's yeast, which you could combine with

some food?

I get diarrhea also which im thinking could be due to the

malabsorption, im not too sure if taking Vit B and having diarrhea

each day is worth it, unless the diarrhea would eventually fade away

after a few days/weeks.
