Fat solube vitamins experience

Ola.
Started taking vit E and saw evident masculinizing effect, makes me think i was deficient.
Makes me wonder if I might be deficient in other fat solubles hmm.
Did you have a profound experience with any of the fat solubles?

Fine. I do so but too much of a good thing is bad.
I can develop why if interested but it's going to be boring if you don't like to read more than a few lines.Vit E mix toco 400 UI 2x/wk or 20-25 mg /d.
Vit D3: 6 months a year. It depends on your level: < 35 or 45 ng/ml
=> 5000 UI or 2000 UI. Need magnesium 450 mg.
Vit K: once a week a high dose with a mix (MK1 MK2 MK4 & MK7). 1 mg K2MK4 every day ( 1 000 mcg).
Vit A: 5 000 UI 2x/wk.
Note: You need to optimize the assimilation with fat (liposoluble). Mind vit K (15 - 25 - 33 g fat as staple). There is interaction between the liposoluble vitamins. I can give a link if interested (in French). -
When I was 29, my spine collapsed (12 vertebral fractures, 8 of which compressed) due to a thyroid disorder that went undiagnosed and I increased my bone density, going from a DEXA score of -6.7 to -3.6 (for reference, -3.5 is osteoporosis) within a year on a Weston A. Price inspired diet supplemented daily with fermented cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil. Now that I have my thyroid under control and I’m weight restored—I went from my normal weight of 99 lb/45 kg to 67 lb/30 kg within a few months after my thyroid crashed—my body is no longer wasting nutrients so I no longer require high amounts of the fat solubles, however, I attribute climbing mountains again, in part, to a diet abundant in them. I was an active climber prior to the injury and not only had to learn how to walk again, I had to build back my spine so that I was no longer at risk of paralysis if I were to fracture again, and I couldn’t have done that without the dense nutrition.
