I have not. I’ve been supplementing vitamin D my whole adult life, and the initial blood test showed a level of 86.6ng/mL which one of my doctors said was higher than optimal, so I lowered the frequency of supplementation and my follow-up blood test showed a level of 54.5ng/mL. Any reason I should try megadosing it even if I have adequate levels in my blood?
I’ve heard of zinc carnosine but haven’t tried it yet. I tried supplementing with zinc gluconate at one point but it seemed to be aggravating my hunger attack symptom so I stopped.
Well if you’ve always been supplementing it then try not supplementing it!
But I had some weird food issues for years (eg seizures after eating garlic) that are mostly gone with 250mcg daily vit D. I started taking K with it about a year ago because people say D alone can have long term side effects. I don’t know why a giant dose is different from a regular dose… I also had normal levels IIRC. Maybe a giant dose gets stuff deeper into certain tissues or something ¿
Zinc carnosine is supposed to increase mucus production. My understanding is that mucus is the source of all good things health-wise (unless it’s in your lungs lol). My mom and I both took it for food vs brain stuff and it seemed to help us both a bit (we were in decent starting condition so a big effect would be hard to see).
