I take 4,000-6,000 UI of Vitamin D3 daily in gelcap/softgel format (Vit D is fat soluble, the dry tablets aren't absorbed nearly as well, which has been confirmed by blood tests).
It costs almost nothing. A bottle of 360 softgels each containing 2,000 UI costs about $25 (Carlson Laboratories brand).
Just make sure you also take enough vitamin A.

- MikeCapone 17y agoI've never seen cod liver oil being recommended over purified D3 in gelcap format. I'll do a bit more research just to make sure, though.
- bhousel 17y agoJust curious if you've noticed any difference in your health since taking the Vitamin D supplement? For comparison that's about how much Vitamin D your skin will produce by being in the sun for 5-10 minutes (assuming you're in normal latitudes and have uncovered face, hands, arms - not always true in the winter).
