Re: I'm beginning a course of Vitamin D3 shots...

May I suggest when you re****t lab values to include the factor
labels with those values. For example the lab may have been
using ng/mL and you seem to be using nmol/L. Don't get me
wrong 22 ng/mL is still low but more in the range called
insufficient as compared to (frankly) deficient below say 10 ng/mL or
25 nmol/L. ( The deficiency threshold may have been increased upward
but
I didn't commit that to memory.) The conversion factor is 2.5 go
from ng/dL to nmol/L. And the optimal
value seems to be above 80 nmol/L or 32 ng/dL from what
I've been led to understand.

And those 100 mg tablets are not 100 mg tablets
but 100 microgram tablets if I am not mistaken.
The biggest vitamin K capsules I've seen on the market
are 15 milligram of vitamin K2 and the next in size are
10 total vitamin K ( 9 mgs of K1 and 1 mg of K2).

I'd watch the amount of calcium in the urine even more so
than in the serum. Understand that is just my first instinct.
Well on second thought I think watching both would be best.
Then of course a direct measure of the serum 25 OH vitamin
can't be faulted.

Will the injected form be vitamin D2? If so remember
that it take more of it than D3 as the body doesn't hang
on to as well as the 'more natural' form.

I think the inject testosterone in the side of the calves
and since both have a steroid structure. Are the shots
a water or oil based? I'd think an oil base would be better.
I have no idea what the standard practice is for vitamin
D shots.

Be sure to split your magnesium dose so it doesn't give you
the diarrhea. Further don't use magnesium oxide as even
people with good digestion and uptake only get about
15% of this forms elemental magnesium. Sure one
can take more MgO than other forms but it just p***** all the way thru
the gut
and then out. Magnesium carbonate or one the chelated forms would be
better.

Those are my thoughts for what they are worth.
