Hi ,

I was told I can the drop/s with or without food. How many drops are you using. I use just one so it's not bad. Maybe you can sip a bit of water or juice?

Hi all - I was wondering if any of you could advise me of a good D3 supplement. My doctor suggested Biotech Emulsion Drops which give you 2000 mg per drop but I can't STAND the taste. So, any ideas? Thanks.

Biotech has a 5000IU D3 that's encapsulated.

It is really awful tasting. And whole " drop " thing is very

confusing. There are big drops and there are little drops. Exactly

how big a drop is equal to 2000 IUs? It is a thick consistency too.

Yes, I too, wonder about the drops. :) Some ARE bigger than another. I don't find the taste bad but I've also have drank pretty nasty Chinese herbals and if I can do those, I think I can do anything. :):)

It doesn't really matter. I take 5 drops but some days I take more. If you are getting sick taking 50,000 iUs for 3 days will clear it up. I just tried it and it worked. :)

Hollis - I was actually WRONG. My doctor didn't give anything from

Biotech. He gave me D3 drops (2000 mg) from Biotics Research. And

THIS is what tastes so awful. It's called Bio D-Mulsion Forte.

Copy and paste link below. Biotech is different I think.

I take the Biotech Emulsion Drops (two at night) and I put them under

my tongue. Don't mind but the emulsion is thick. I don't know of

another brand. I hope these drops works; my doctor said it can

take up to a year to get the Vitamin D up to an acceptable level.

I am amazed (but should not be) how many Docs don't order the Vitamin

D3 test. I added it to my profile after reading in Nutrition

Action newsletter how many people are deficient in it and lo and

behold I was low myself. Just shows you really need to take charge

of your health and educate the physician. My Doctor just sends me

a blank lab slip now because he knows I will add on what I need.

I have learned. My new OB-GYN, holistic Doctor is wonderful and

is helping me with my hormones. We had a long talk about the WP

protocol and he could have ordered it for me but thank goodness I

found this website. I was very scared about the doses especially

the P doses. 8000+mg every month sounds nuts to me.

Thanks to all of you wonderful women for sharing all your insight.

What a great way to get information and learn more and more.

Yes, it can be confusing. They ARE different companies.

Really, any of the D3 that comes in capsules -- whether it's from Biotech, Pure

Encapsulations, or

whatever -- will get around the " ick " factor for you.

I had no idea there was such a thing! Yes I think it's better absorbed

I'm reading more and more

about Vitamin D and have decided to terminate its use. I had been trying to use it for

osteoporosis but may have been defeating my purpose. I've been using D for about six months and feel my bones are

declining. I'm having a DEXA today.

This is long and is related

information to the link Madeleen posted this morning. I'm becoming more and more fearful of

all the advice passed around on the health lists. First it was progesterone cream, then

iodine and Vitamin D. Take the time

to read this and think about it.

The more I see of " alternative " medicine, the more frightened

I become.

Val,

I've been quite frightened by much of what I've seen in conventional

medicine, and I'm sure that there's much to be frightened of in

alternative medicine as well. They both can do a great deal of good,

and they both can do a great deal of harm. I just don't see the point

of making a huge generalization about either of them.

Best,

Jane

My point was to be careful

of jumping on every new Internet craze.

I suffered terribly by jumping on the progesterone cream craze.

With nutrients, more is not always better, and the right balance for your

unique metabolism may be better. I am not sure I want to be treated through

the lens of this website, no matter how many references there are. Taking

antibiotics for everything is not a cure it’s an an additional drug burden. Even

Pasteur announced that the host was more important than the disease. How do

we know that finding bacteria in sick people means the bacteria caused the

disease? It is the same argument used against vitamin D. Which is a vitamin

that from what I understand may be needed in different amounts and forms

depending on genetics.

Which is why I won't take MEGA doses of ANYthing. I take 1000 iu's a

day of Vit. D. My doctor told me to take 2000. I could be wrong.

But I feel going slowly and staying in between is better than none or

too much.

All:

I felt better (at least I thought) on Vit D-2 (Ergocalciferol,

50000u's X 1 wk)..but I noticed that I felt worse after a

while...spells of numbing depression, disorientation, semi-panic

attacks..I didn't put it together at first, but then noticed this

happening after taking the D. So, I stopped it for a while and

these " spells " stopped. I've done a little research on Vit D and

parathyroid function. (You can google Dr Norman hyperparathyroid

Tampa for his take on D, I also looked at Dr. Ted Friedmann's good

hormone health website. These are endos that I trust in their

respective fields and they both say the same thing..adding D when

calcium levels are good can be problematic. My calcium levels were

high/high normal..Moral of the story..listen to your body (that one

keeps hitting me in the head!!!)

All I know is that my primary doctor, my gyno and my hormone doctor

all said to take more Vit D because I'm severely deficient. They

prescribe things without knowing or checking into the repercussions

which is why I don't believe in taking all these stupid vitamins in

the first place!

These very good doctors both say the same thing, if your calcium

levels are good/high/high normal, you do NOT need Vit D and

corresponding low levels of D are your body's way of trying to lower

the extemporaneous calcium...
