Re: what brand of Vitamin D3?

[Guest guest]

I don't know, but have a related question (below) and yes all the D3

I've seen is from fish oil. Which is why I can't do much. Cheese isn't

supplemented iwth D3 nor is my half and half, sour cream, and yogurt,

only milk is fortified with it apparently. So I'm not getting much from

diet, as I also can't eat ocean fish. Molecularly distilled fish oil

(no mercury) is available, and I was hoping I'd be able to use it, but

not. But you are right, I see nothing mentioning vit D on any fish oil

except.........

Cod liver oil is supposed to be a good supplement for vit D, I haven't

checked to see if there is a molecularly distilled or no mercury

versions out there, as I can't take it in any case. My son has been

taking Cod liver oil, and says he feels improvement from it.

So I have gone back to my vit A palmitate and D2 supplement. I'm looking

for info re whether D2 is better than no D at all? And whether A

palmitate is better than no A at all? Damned allergy anyway!

Ho sol,

As far as I know Cod Live Oil is from fish. My dd is sensitive to

fish products, too. I buy her the Country Life brand of Vitamin D3

non-fish liver source - Vit D3 as cholecalcferol from lanolin.

Hi Sol,

Sorry, I forget that part. D2 is also a way to get vit d, it's just

that you need to take a much higher dose to get the equivent D3.

There is info on the vitamin d website as well.

Also, the d3 is more readily absorbed so that's why it's recommended

over the D2. If I remember correctly D2 is only a short term

solution.
