Yeah, you can easily purchase it over the counter and it's very cheap. You can find it in the vitamins and supplements section. You should probably be looking for "high-strength" pills of 1000 IU. I won't say exactly how much you should be taking, but typical recommendations are of at least 1000 IU per day.
- tzs 6y agoIf you want to do around 1000 IU per day, it may be worth looking at multivitamins. For example, Flintstones Complete [1] chewable children's multivitamins are 800 IU per tablet. One or two tablets a day of those should have you covered. If you want to take much larger doses of some vitamin, say 5000 IU a day of D, it would probably not be a good idea to do it via multivitamins because you would then be getting large doses of many other vitamins and minerals. At the very least you'd have to do a lot more research to make sure all of them are safe in larger doses. [1] Just because you an adult doesn't mean you have to settle for the bland or worse taste of "adult" multivitamins. We are allowed to take flavorful children's vitamins too.
- joshvm 6y agoWe have the chewy ones from Bassetts. The amount of Vitamin D is low though, only 5ug - typically the standalone supplements are at least 15ug. It should be safe to take a multivitamin plus a separate D tablet. The NHS limit is 100ug I think, which you shouldn't be going near even if you take the "max strength" tablets (up to 75ug).
