Imagine a world without China, India, Africa… you'd be naked, probably without a keyboard to type on, and hey, you might not even exist! LOL!
Try American One a day tablets. Much better than au multivitamins.
American industry for supplements are not regulated. So just be mindful. Partly the reason Aussie brands are so expensive (oh and their greed).
Those interested in getting more D might want to complement this with some K. So..enjoy the D..K.
One time I bought some vitamins that were "independent/3rd party tested" and the address on the testing certificate was a dog grooming business.
Hmm…..what's your point? Did your dog feel better after taking them? I hope you don't mean you ate the dog vitamins yourself. (But if you did. How did they taste? Did they make you better?)
K2 mk7 or mk4. Vitamin K is the anti coagulating vitamin.
"Cue the Vit. D debate" What debate?
Something something sunshine
My wife reckons she doesn't need Vit. D anymore.
Are you married to a mushroom?
I can confirm this is wrong. She just doesnt want the vitamin you give her
You mean she wants to try a different Vit. D?
contains gelatin
…..and……?
Last time when it was on sale, the expiry date was less than a year. Unless you can share with someone, it will be hard to finish them in time. Not sure about it this time though!
I bought it on Monday at this price and got it already. FYI, the expiry is May 2025.
I take 2x 1000IU softgels daily of another brand. Is 5000IU excessive?
No
Apparently maximum is like 4000iu/d?

Probably wouldn't take this much long term. Around 1000iu/d should be fine for most people.
Take it every second day if you're concerned. 2500/day should be okay, it's been a long time since I did my research but i recall I landed on 3000/day as a good amount that shouldn't be overdoing it, but of course do your own research and consider your individual circumstances.
It’s weird the huge range of opinions of d3 requirements. The. Natures way pill I have are 1000iu and they say DO NOT have more than 1 per day. Yet there’s 5000 and 10000 tabs on the market
you can get higher IU formations from compounding chemists with a prescription - usually a doc wlll boost your vit d levels up using these and then ask you to maintain the higher level by daily taking 1000 or 2000.
I'm curious whether the Australian vitamin regulations referred to in a post above limits the amount of IUs that manufacturers are allowed to offer in their products here.
1000 IU isn't really a lot, just the standard dose in Australia. It's probably not enough for most people but depends on individual circumstances.
Yeah I guess it makes sense in countries where they get less hours of sunlight or everyone is office workers etc
I was taking 1000 per day had a blood test and was told to take 2000. I took 5000 every second day and was told my levels were good.
It's regulated in australia, because you can have too much. Above 1k you need to seek medical advice before purchasing it from australian pharmacies.
It's been mentioned a few times in these threads, but apparently supplements are unregulated in the US, which is why you have doses like these (some much bigger) coming from there
I was taking prescribed melatonin 3mg and had to sleep in the afternoons. Purchased 10mg over the counter in US and could not even sleep through the night. Definitely different strengths.
Great deal, thanks OP.
These are $0.0275 each versus $0.11 with iHerb
The sun is free. But I'm sure someone is going to say we pay for it?
They'll say if the sunlight is free then you are the sunlight …
I have been known to light up a room.
That's not what my doctor told me
Did your doctor say you were a vampire? Do you only go out at night and don't eat garlic?
I used to use iHerb until the postage (and exchange rate) didnt make it worthwhile unless you bought whole bunch of stuff at same time :/. Having said that, you still need to buy other stuff via amazon US to get the free delivery (anything over 59bucks)
You should not be taking this dose unless advised by your doctor as the loading phase of treatment for severe vitamin D deficiency.
Thanks Dr. Phil.
Dr.Phil isn't a real Doctor. He's an Electrician.
I, on the other hand, am a doctor.
Doctor's Best Vitamin D3
Only if they obtained their degree from the Hollywood Upstairs Medical College.
Call 1-800-DOCTORB. The "B" is for Bargain!
Is this any good? Last time I looked at getting Vitamin D3 I read others saying the better D3 supplement is with K2 (pretty sure it was K2).
K9 is almost five times better.
5000iu - strong, by comparison most Australian manufacturers make 1000iu caps. So could be good as a once/week dose. With 720 soft gels it would take around 14 years to get through the bigger bottle.
Not sure why the negs, you're not wrong. My dr recommended 7000iu 1 tab a week
I think we're offending the vitamin D zealots. But yes, 7000iu for 1 a week is common.

Yeah! They don't realise some people have health issues where you cant be in the sun
