    Or this? (Currently not at low price) https://www.amazon.com.au/Cenovis-Vitamin-1000IU-Tablets-200…

    • ozchobie on 24/04/2023 - 09:26

      Yea this is better value

      • Musiclover on 24/04/2023 - 09:27

        Around half of the subject price to be exact. Regularly the non S&S price is around $0.60 less, so just waiting for it to drop.

      • HD9990 on 24/04/2023 - 10:05

        not really…. we are talking about capsules VS tablets. the manufacturing process and costs are different. not sure how much it would differentiate when it was taken though..

        • ozchobie on 24/04/2023 - 10:19

          Really the end benefit to most consumers of a soft gel vs tablet is faster and slightly better absorption. I would understand if you need it for pain relief but this is a vitamin supplement. I’ll be ok with it.

        • trixieb on 24/04/2023 - 10:19

          Capsules are more expensive to manufacture than tablets. Capsules may be better absorbed (more bioavailable) than tablets too. Hence the higher price.

    • SaraCarl01 on 24/04/2023 - 16:45

        • trixieb on 24/04/2023 - 09:54

          Cenovis looks to have the same Vit D strength but in a tablet form. Ostelin and Swisse are in soft capsule form.

    The one I bought recently from CWH says it's exclusive to CWH. This one seems exactly alike. How many stores is this "exclusive" to?

    costco has it very cheap like $7 or $8.

  • trixieb on 24/04/2023 - 09:58

    Ostelin seems to be the first Australian company that focuses on manufacturing Vitamin D supplements. Hence its popularity (no: 1 Vitamin D brand in Australia) and much higher price.
    The other brands (Cenovis, Swisse etc) are cheaper.
    It's similar to original brand versus generics.

    • bobvegas on 24/04/2023 - 10:54

      Yeah, both Ostelin and Caltrate work on the 1/2 price model. They have ridiculous retail prices that (almost) nobody buys but regularly go 1/2 price and people think they're a bargain, like Caltrate Bone & Muscle Health Tablets | 100 pack at $21,,, Seriously nobody is buying that. and at $10.50 people think it's a good deal, but it's still more than other brands. and Vitamin D3 is Vitamin D3, Calcium is calcium. Nothing special about Ostelin or Caltrate, the markup is purely to do with the brand

      • trixieb on 24/04/2023 - 11:12

        Ostelin Vit D and Caltrate (calcium) marketed themselves well. Doctors were recommending those brands.
        Caltrate uses calcium carbonate.
        Personally I prefer the more expensive calcium citrate salt which is better absorbed and less gastrointestinal side effects eg constipation. Was buying Citracal but it has been discontinued in Australia.

  • HD9990 on 24/04/2023 - 10:01

    original vitamin D???

    • trixieb on 24/04/2023 - 10:05

      I've edited. Similar to original brand versus generics. The difference in price is huge

      • JaeTee on 24/04/2023 - 10:11
        +2

        Original vs generic means the exclusivity period has lapsed for a once exclusive product from a manufacturer. In this case, it is more just different brands making the same thing. Do not believe there is any exclusivity in vitamin D production.

          No, there isn't with Vit D. I was making an analogy.
          Ostelin seems to be the first Australian made Vit D is probably the reason for its higher price and popularity. Most people were recommended Ostelin by their doctors from ages ago and continue to buy Ostelin.

          You miss the point here! This "nurse" has better information and advice than 90% of the sellout doctors in this country. Would you deny service to a nurse in hospital? F no! Have some respect! If you can't, then forget who he is and his title and look at the information he presents… Do you really think you can trust the government and who they consider a Doctor anyway? Ffs, you still have stickers on cop cars saying "Our job saves lives, Your jab saves lives". That's such an obvious lie it's not funny! The government lies through their teeth! The jab didn't stop transmission. You can't trust any government regulated job these days, especially Doctors lol.

          • Naigrabzo on 24/04/2023 - 14:42

            @Tythefly86: I am definitely going to call myself Dr Oz from now on. :) Waiting for a sticker deal so I can get some stickers made up.

        • Tythefly86 on 24/04/2023 - 14:57

          plasmoske: Ok then, what do you call someone with a Ph.D? It's literally in the title! Doctorate = Doctor; same thing, especially in other countries like the US and UK. Either way you miss the point here. The video is about the data, not the person presenting it. He is reviewing quality studies and data. Besides, would you refuse service from a nurse in a hospital because they aren't a doctor? Doubt it! Have some respect.. No wonder 20% of nurses in QLD quit their jobs 🙄

          • plasmoske on 24/04/2023 - 15:54

              Whom should we really call a “doctor”?

              Historically speaking, the title doctor was invented in the Middle Ages to describe eminent scholars. These doctorates date back to the 1300s. Such people were accorded a lot of respect and prestige.

              The PhD, or Doctor of Philosophy, is the highest graduate degree awarded by our universities

              @plasmoske: plasmoske: Yes, you are indeed a doctor and you perfectly prove my point with that. If it's that easy for anyone to become a doctor than you should put less trust in the ones that are and give the Dr or "nurse" a chance. For someone with a PhD you seem very close minded. Guess it's that easy for anyone to become a doctor? Aren't you taught how to think and not just what to think? Hence doctorate… You shouldn't care about who is presenting facts when said facts are valuable and relevant to this deal with Vitamin D.

  • antik on 24/04/2023 - 13:53

    Can someone chime in with how much to take and if Vitamin K is also recommended to pair with?

    • trixieb on 24/04/2023 - 14:13

      The usual recommended dose is 1 or 2 capsules/tablets per day of Vitamin D3 1000 IU.
      Blood tests can be ordered by your doctor to check your levels. Levels may reduce during winter months.

      https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK441912/

      Quote: Scientists don’t know whether high vitamin D intake is harmful when vitamin K intake is inadequate. Evidence suggests it might be a concern, but a definite conclusion cannot be reached at this point.

    • ddhytz on 24/04/2023 - 16:32

      I would start with 2000IU daily for 6 months, do a blood tests, then adjust according to results.

    1000IU is useless, won't do anything but prevent you from dying of scurvy. You get about 50,000IU from 15 mins in the sun. Thanks to Australia's shitty Big Brother laws they don't sell any higher doses here. Note that Vit D RDA comes from a flawed metastudy that understated required supplementation by a factor of 10. Fortunately you can get 5000IU or higher bottles from overseas.

      Why pay for a supplement when the freebie vit D hit from the sun is the OzB way?

          If you have sun sensitivity then there are food sources that are high in vitamin D

          • besttraveltech on 25/04/2023 - 20:02

            @[Deactivated]: There are 3 food sources: some fish, yolk, and liver. They all have their own health consequences.

            Any other "food source" is actually a fortified food source, which means that the Vitamin D is a supplement added to the food. May as well get a proper dose directly from the supplement.

            • [Deactivated] on 25/04/2023 - 20:07

              @besttraveltech: I thought mushies are also high in vit d?

              Every thing has a health consequence which is why you need to make an informed decision. I don't like supplements due to the stabilisers and fillers.
