      You sound really educated.

      I don't think you understand how vaccines work; they don't boost immune systems, they basically do half the job for them, but only for the virus that they're targeted at. If anything our immune systems become weakened - it's the cost of keeping many of us alive. Herd immunity is at the cost of a big proportion of the herd.

    The swisse gel cap one with 400 is about the same per unit. Any idea which is better?

    • +1

      Probably about the same but I generally find gel capsules easier to swallow. Have the Swisse one and it's good.

    • gel capsules are supposedly better because d3 is fat soluble

    Hey just so everyone knows I got a private message from the first commenter with the following contents:

    Subject: How's the job?

    And the Audi SQ5?

    Did you end up defrauding that covid super withdrawal scheme like you were thinking?

    Just an encouragement for others not to be intimidated by them and report them / escalate to moderators.

        I gave you my phone number. Let's chat.

        Their reply:

        Fake/ spoofed number. Good one.

    Has anyone ever had their Vitamin D levels tested?

    • +2

      yes

    • +3

      Most people will be fine without supplementation, but it's not unreasonable to speak to your GP about this.

      Vitamin D and Calcium are particularly important as we age with regards to bone health. IF you are a normal/healthy person exposed to the sun your Vitamin D levels should be adequate. Your skin performs an important step with regards to conversion to the final form of Vit D.

      Some people might not however and could be deficient. Vitamins (supplemental) don't fix things all by themselves. I wouldn't take them if you don't have a proven deficiency

      Fat soluble vitamins like ADEK can cause problems if you have levels that are too high.

      • +3

        I think saying that is a bit irresponsible, while technically correct. Over 30% of adults in Australia are deficient in vitamin d.

        • The number is nebulous but let's say for the sake of argument 30% are deficient. The majority still are not.

          There has been a tremendous increase in unnecessary testing for Vitamin D levels in the past years so much so the government changed the Medicare rules for these tests.

          Hence why risk factors should be assessed in conjunction with your GP or doctor and go from there.

      • +1

        most of us here in Tassie are deficient - that is a known

    • +4

      Yes, it's routinely low.

    • +3

      Not sure why you got negged.

      I got this the last time it was on sale. For curiosity both my wife and I had one everyday for one week before our tests. My level went from 56 last year (no supplement) to 85, my wife from 30s to 60. The results were surprising, because many people insist that 1 a day makes no difference. Just shows that everyone is different.

      BTW I'm just saying it raised my blood vit D level, but I don't know whether it actually produces health benefits.

      • +1

        I have low nuetrophs so i take vitD and other immune boosting drugs regularly.

      • What was the dosage you used?

        • This very same one, Cenovis 1000IU.

      • +1

        Re: health benefits

        I was deficient as per blood test, twice (not in a row though). First time I scoffed and ignored the doc. Second time was during this pandemic, before vaccines? Felt like sh!t mentally. Took vit d, it was like a switch turned on no joke. Theres a reason why scandinavians and poms take it. I suppose if you arent a shut in in aus, its unnecessary.

        • +1

          Yep I was low 5 years ago in a blood test. Took it for a while then kinda forgot. Recently got another blood test and was again low. Started taking it again and must admit an feeling a little better fatigue wise.

          I get plenty of sun and have a good diet, I think some people just need supplements. I don't take any other supplements or medication.

        • and Tasmanians

    • Yes I have. Mine were found to be 30 nmol/l. For reference I believe the normal range is 50-150 nmol/l. My GP told me to take 3 x 1000 IU vitamin D3 pills a day for 1 month and then 1 a day for 3 months. Seems to be working for me.

      • I find it odd that different websites recommend different ranges - I thought 50-150 was normal too - varies between summer and winter I believe, however I've seen websites where as long as it's above 20 it's fine - seems too low to me.

    • You get one free test per year on Medicare.

    • Yes after speaking to my doctor. I was suffering from insomnia and some mood changes for the last several months. My test came back at 23 nmol/L and was prescribed 5000IU of D3 with K2 MK-7 daily for 2 months then 1000IU of D3 after as maintenance.

    • Yes, for many years I was mysteriously getting dizziness and muscle cramps. Dr did a blood test and one of the things that was low was my vitamin D.

      I'm not a fan of getting sunburnt or tanned because my skin burns easily, so I tend wear sunscreen all the time. This also resulted in me having low vitamin D levels because sunscreen blocks vitamin D absorption.

  • Whatever happened to the chewable citrus flavoured vitamin D.

  • +1

    Just fyi
    Don't waste time with anything less than 5000iu
    I only notice it kick in after 15,000
    And yes It is Safe at these levels

    • +3

      That is your body. Others are different.

    • +6

      Be mindful that high supplementation of vitamin d can lead to high calcium levels.

      I would suggest a visit to your GP and you can plan a strategy together.

      • -4

        Or read some research papers all documenting this?

        • +1

          Or again - as he suggested - speak with a trained expert in the field who has spent at least five years reading such research papers.

          It wasn't actually bad advice for anyone with concerns in this space…

          • -1

            @UncleRico: 5000 iu is about 45 mins -1 hour of sunlight in winter and 25 mins in summer.

            Not going to kill you

          • +1

            @UncleRico: You don't need to visit a GP for a free visit covered by Medicare, Drakesy will save you the trouble!

        • +2

          Or speak to experts, like pharmacy, doctors etc. And then get your blood taken regularly to produce real metrics.

      • +1

        High vitamin calcium levels can increase your chances of strokes, hypertension, muscle aches and other issues. Extremely negligent of people to suggest XYZ without considering everyone's situation/body is different, in fact that's a warning sign that someone doesn't know what they're talking about.

        Get a blood test, get it dialled in.

    • +3

      This is correct 1000iu is a joke of a dose it’ll do nothing for you.

    • +1

      Yes, you need to take 5000iu.

    • +1

      Kind of agree, I take 5000iu every 2nd day in winter, but none in the other months.

  • +3

    Mine was low, I take 1000iu a day and it’s back where it should be now.

  • +3

    Same price at Coles if you're not Prime member (or ran out of trial)
    https://shop.coles.com.au/a/national/product/cenovis-tablets…

  • 1000iu is a joke. My Mrs. levels were at 11 (very low) and Docs recommended the 1,000. She took it for 6 months and re-tested, it went to 13.

    Found 10,000iu on iHerb and she had it for another 6 months and her levels went to 85.

    Not medical advice. YMMV, DYOR

    • +1

      Your Doctor should have known that 1000-2000IU is a maintenance dose, not a supplementation dose.

      And if they went to Hollywood upstairs medical school, they could have looked up a medical reference which would suggest a decent dosage.

      I would be very disappointed if my GP was so disinterested in their job

    • +1

      Just FYI, it takes quite a few months to build the levels up, you can get an injection to speed things up, but it still takes months. I found with 1000 it took 6 months then my levels rocketed up.

  • People need at least 5000iu of not 10k

  • I watched a video last week on vit. D, buy mushrooms with gills like shitake, put them upside down in the sun for 2 sunny days max, they will produce vitamin D, then store them dried and eat. 100g contain 46000 - 200,000iu

    • +1

      Plz post video,
      sounds dubious.

  • +3

    5k-10k from iherb WITH k2 (mk7 form) to direct calcium to the right location is the only thing worthwhile if you're low.

    • Any recommendations?

      • +1

        Just search for Vitamin D with k2, 5000iu, whatever is decently reviewed and cheap

        I take solaray brand, but they're all probably the same

      • +1

        Well top tier for supps is thorne research. But anything reputable for vitamin d would be good. NOW, solgar etc.

  • "Not far off the all time low of $6.86"

    I ordered 2x bottles recently for $6 each S&S just because I was out. Not sure if $6.86 was the regular price, if that means $6 a bottle S&S then that was it.
