[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 2004907, member: 31715"] Oh I know, I wasn't trying to direct it at you or imply that you were requesting it :) The subject has come up before in the past during another discussion (not with you :) ) While I do agree that Vit D can become toxic, I don't believe that it can happen from our powdered supplements in the way we use them. Maybe a liquid version that also includes D3 (because a liquid version would most likely be much more bioavailable). I just haven't seen it ever, in my own dragons or in dragons here. That of course doesn't mean it doesn't happen and doesn't get misdiagnosed, but I've seen more dragons suffering from a lack of calcium absorption, which would directly be related to a lack of D3 in the body. And in all the bloodwork that I've seen here over the years, I can't recall ever seeing 25(OH)D levels that were at a toxic range. All this of course isn't very scientific, but it leads me to my own opinion of D3 and how we use it not being an issue. I don't think it's a make or break issue. I know many (maybe most?) people rotate calcium with and without, and their dragons don't develop MBD. But, I still appreciate the discussion on it :) It's how communities grow and learn IMO. Maybe it was more important of a supplement back in the dreaded days of our T8 bulbs ontop of our screens (how did we ever survive... :ROFLMAO:) -Brandon [/QUOTE]
