Hello, all,
Nearly a year ago I read an article about how important vitamin D was, and it suggested large dosages for maximum effect. I ordered mega-dose vitamin D from a famous online vitamin supply store. They were 5,000 IU vitamin D soft gels. The bottle says each soft gel supplies 1,250% of the daily requirement of vitamin D. I began taking 2 a day since last February. I have not missed a single day. A short time ago my doctor ran a simple blood test. When I went in for the results, the doctor said my levels of vitamin D were very low, and I should seriously consider taking supplements. I was shocked! I contacted the manufacturer of the vitamins, and they said the product was fine, there was something wrong with me, or something I was taking was interfering with the vitamin D absorption. I am diabetic, take insulin (Novolog and Lantis, low dosages), a mild blood-pressure pill, and vitamin C. Does anybody have any ideas? I suspect the vitamin D soft gels do NOT contain what they say. I paid a high price for them, too. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Cherie
