6 month labs

BigSky Ammunition · Nov 5, 2013

I feel pretty good. 6 months ago i never thought i would fee as i do now. Granted i have not lost any weight but clothing fit looser and dropped about 4inches in waist. An roughly gained a 1inch in muscle mass in arms and shoulders.

Bigsky I noticed you posted them as jpeg or gif on ********. If you do that here we will see them easier and do not have to download

BigSky Ammunition · Nov 5, 2013

I tired to and it said files to large, an really not sure how to make them smaller.

Other than supplementing with Vit D3 you look FANTASTIC in my personal opinion.

Congrats man; you are dialed in

BigSky Ammunition · Nov 5, 2013

Gene,
I'm taking 5000iu's aday of D3 now. I'm in northwest Montana and sun light is rare. should i got up more on it, or should i be taken something else on top of it.

Thanks
Tom

5000 iu is a lot for some men.

What is the quality of the product?

For me personally, I've always like Life Extension products as they are very particular about the quality of their products many of which are GMP:

Congrats BigSky. Your numbers are great. May be 2500 IU of Vit D3 would suffice: http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formul...=1383755437&sr=8-4&keywords=vitamin+D3+jarrow

Nelson. THanks.

I'm taking 5000iu aday now. and the pharm. said possibly adding a double does of 5000iu/10,000 on Mon-Wens-Fri and doing the 5000iu in between those would bring the D Numbers up.

Nelson Vergel · Nov 6, 2013

The best way to know what the right dose of vitamin D3 is to test it after a week weeks of supplementation.

Vitamin D is responsible for bone health and has some other emerging data that shows that it may have some immune benefits.

Well all labs looked good as everyone said.

But the Dr flipped and said they will not treat me if i'm over 600-700 well after talking with my GP said he has training in this line and would be happy to look at everything an see if he wants to take on another TRT patient.

If not I can say i'm more the willing to Let Jasen At Defy an his team take over treatment.

Vitamin D is a fat soluble and needs to be taken with the proper food. It’s best taken with the largest meal of the day. One of most common mistake with this supplement is that it is taken in the morning without food or the wrong food. You can 20,000 IU’s of the best and most expensive supplement and it’s not going to do much unless it’s taken properly. If you’re not going to take it with the proper food then it’s best to take it in emulsified form.

I forgot to say Congrats, BigSky. I agree with Nelson and Gene. Your number look great. Keep it up

BigSky Ammunition · Nov 22, 2013

Keith
Thanks yes i have been told buy quite afew even my GP that there looking good.
I take the Vit. D with dinner every evening.

Keith Willse · Nov 23, 2013

I would say your not absorbing well since your Vit. D levels haven't increased, even when taken properly. Talk with your physician about emulsified Vit. D3.

In my experience, I have seen the following work very well when absorption is a problem.

Will do.

We upped the dose from 5k every day to 10k M W F with 5k on T T S S to see if it comes up. Up here in Montana our sunlight is limited an sucks i guess.
