Have you considered the risk of receiving counterfeit goods in this suggestion? There are numerous threads on this board, and numerous articles on the internet, detailing the dubious quality of goods coming out of Amazon these days. With co-mingling of stock, it’s not even possible to pick a “reputable” seller to avoid this risk.
How does an ordinary person test that we’ve actually received the supplement that was ordered, and not something else entirely? Amazon is the Wild West compared to a drug store.

- zenexer 6y agoIf I were on a tight budget and didn't have a prescription, I'd definitely get mine from Amazon. It's a relatively cheap, generic product. I'd be a little worried about other unexpected chemicals being mixed in, but food is probably even more of a concern in that regard. On the scale of things to fret over if you're short on cash, vitamin D sourcing is probably pretty low. Besides, what are the chances that a local store's vitamin D is actually higher-quality? It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they both ended up coming from the same place.
