good watch

Vitamin D is an interesting vitamin. The LEF have been promoting it for quite some time.

^^It certainly is. The fact that it has the structure of a hormone will prove to be the key to its brilliance one day.

I agree res/cleaver

it seems its use for prevention of so many cell related diseases seems credible and immense.

what i wasnt sure of is the diff between regular vit d, d2 and d3 etc? is D3 the best out of them all?

D3 for sure. D2 has to be converted to D3 before use. A bit like beta carotene and retinol.

ahh rite. i assume also theres varous types? saw a product from sheeps wool or something for d3. what is the best form? Scott referred to AOR having something a little while back? But there prices are a little up there.

I've been taking Solar Gems from Carlsons for a while - got them from iHerb

Can you post a review once you're done as it's a very interest supplement for us more, ahem, mature posters

There isn't any point in spending a lot of money on D3, it's the same product everywhere and is ridiculously cheap to produce. It's made by irradiating animal fat, there are a few vegetarian products that claim to use standardized amounts of various seeds to provide the vitamin D but that's pointless.

However, as it's a fat soluble vit, so the best products are suspended in olive oil and in gel caps. The NOW foods 5000IU caps are like that and are stupidly cheap from iherb.

yeh I thought as much - there seems to be a trend this year in the supplement industry to hike prices and harp around USP - more so then usual.

if anyone is going to order D3 from iherb I suggest the Healthy Origins 5000IU softgels. 360 for $15

It's been in iherbs weekly top 5 sellers for ages

I rate the mixed tocepherol 400IU vitamin E as well from the same company.

Can't argue that price to be honest.

I may do an iherb order in the new year and get a bulk load of stuff like that.

Utterly dumb question....is iherbs a european or US website? As I'll not order from the US as I think if I have to go and argue with the German custom authorities again either they, or I will not survive.

US.

If you keep the weight under 3lb and value under $80 you can ship it for $4 via international airmail. This is easy with vitamins unless they are in thick glass jars.

let me know if you do.

Am gonna get me some and dose at 10,000IU daily for the rest of the winter - will drop the dose down when the spring time hits. The research on vit D(3) is pretty compelling.

sharing the wealth and all that...seemed a good site - prices good?

why so high?

Lack of sunlight exposure during the winter months - 10000 during winter and 5000 during.
