Typical dosages of key vitamins and minerals found in supplements for men over 60 are : Vit C 60-100 mg, D 0-25 μg (400-1000 IU), B12 1.5-24 μg, B9 200-400 μg, Calcium 200-300 mg, Magnesium 100-300 mg, Zinc 10-15 mg. Are these dosages likely to be close to optimal for this group or are higher levels needed? Some research suggests for example that Vitamin D3 doses should range from 5,000 IU to 50,000 IU in extremis.”ClosedNicola asked 12 months ago • Healing Modalities211 views0 answers0 votes
