    Am I missing something here?

    "Each softgel capsule contains:
    Menaquinone 7 90 micrograms (Vitamin K2)"

    Yet they have 180 mcg K2 on the front?

    So is it 90 mcg or 180 mcg?

    "Directions
    Adults: Take 2 softgel capsules daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare professional."

    If they have the 'suggested intake' on the front that's some bullshit.

    • I thinks it means 90 micrograms of Menaquinone 7, which is equivalent to 180mcg Vitamin K₂.

      • 90 micrograms of Menaquinone 7 would be 90 mcg of Vit K2 though, not 180.

        • I agree. Was looking at same product a while back…they are trying to suggest it's 180mcg, but in reality it's 90mcg per pill. I went with the other red brand, $7.98 for 30x180mcg atm

          • @Phorm: I sent a complaint the tga. Highly unlikely anything will come of it but worth a shot.

      Most pill supplements do that, it's very annoying when trying to find the best product.

      • Curious if you can find me another example of it

        • Don't have the time to look right now, but I always found it hard with fish oil. They'd advertise a certain DHA/EPA level, but that would be per serving which could be 3 or more capsules.

    • Serving size 2 capsules X Each capsules contains 90mcg = 180mcg of whatever you wanted.

      • Never mind, i got your point. It should mention as 30 servings instead of 60 capsules.

        My exact point.

        Calling it "Vitamin K₂ 180mcg 60 Softgel $9.99"

        Just a straight up lie.

        • Absolutely.

    1000 iu vitamin D is a waste of time
    5000 iu should be the min.

    • Have you made the tests to see if you were deficient prior to supplementation?

      • +3

        If you are deficient, taking 1000 IU per day is not going to move the needle, speaking from experience. Min 5000 - 10000 IU per day before you can see a difference to getting it up.

      • I've done years of trial and error and until i hit 5000 iu my vitamin D levels literally went nowhere.

        Definitely notice an uplift in mood and energy after 10,000 iu's though.

        • I am happy to hear about your uplift in mood which you, for some reason, associate with Vit D supplementation. Have you actually checked your level though?

        • My VitD was 49. Asked Indian friend to get 60,000 iu tabs … One tab a fortnight for a month…then one tab monthly. Vit. D came back to 65 after 3 months…about $13 for 2 packs. 1 pack has 4 tabs

    • Is there a cheaper way to get blood test done? like an online doc giving presciption for some tests who bulk bills? I started zinc/D3 etc because i was deficient, but my regular doc is expensive.

      • Isn't the test itself and results bulk billed? What you describe is a GP charge issue not a blood test issue. Find a different GP.

        • My GP is a bit more intelligent, so hes worth the extra cost, but not for blood tests. I usually use imedical.com.au and get it tested myself to get back the results the same day via email, so i need a GP who is bulk billed and just nods yes for what i ask.

          • @John Doh: Just taking a look using imedical.com.au the build your own option for just Vit D3 is $52 total. That really isn't bad considering a trip to my Dr. is now around $100 and I get what $40 back - so this DIY test is worthwhile. Obviously bulk billing wins, also if you're testing for multiple things it soon adds up…..

            • @Ruckmauler: imedical gets cheaper if you look for packages or get more tests done. Just 1 test is expensive as it has thier base profit amount. But still if you have more tests, free tests with GP always win. Only problem is going back to GP for results.

              • @John Doh: Is it normal for a GP not to provide a copy of the results? I recently had blood work done and the GP called me in to discuss. I asked if I can get a copy and was told you don't need it as everything looks fine. Nothing concerning plus you're not going to see a specialist so you don't really need it.

                • @elecpurch: AFAIK, they usually give it to you if you ask for it. Weird they didnt. I usually see the results on the screen and take thier permission to take a photo and they mostly allow me to. But then, I have been to only 4 or 5 of them.

                  • @John Doh: Yeah I found it strange but then I've never asked any GP for a copy of the results so thought it was normal. Will try again the next time I see him.

                • @elecpurch: You can request it when the blood is taken, at least from Melbourne Pathology. They make you fill out a form. Since most GPs CHARGE "admin fees" to send patient history/notes to new practices, I do it by default.

                  • @Gav: Thanks didn't know about this option. So they just email it to you or send it via snail mail?

                    • +2

                      @elecpurch: About a week after the test you'll get an email with a link, and an SMS with a code to use to access it. Save to your computer and it's all yours. I believe post is an option too, but I've not used it. The GP will be notified you've requested it, and it's obviously not a replacement to a follow-up GP appointment to discuss the results.

                      • @Gav: Thanks, i'll try this the next time.

      • Get it from supermarket..Coles have it

        • I thought of, but too much inflation. Especially at coles and woolies.
