Comment by Vitamin D Life

This is essentially a 600,000 IU loading dose, which, based on previous studies, should work well.

The loading dose amount and time period is very similar to what Vitamin D Life is proposing in the video being created

No update on trial as of Jan 2024 since 2013 - suspect it was cancelled
