Right. You’re taking a fancy, slow release, 50k IU once a week. Why not take a not fancy, regular release, 7k IU pill every day? I’m not saying once a week is bad, but there seems to be a cost to it. And assuming everyone involved is a rational actor, something justifies that cost. What is it? Is there some effect that heavy infrequent dosages has? More convenient? Higher patient compliance?
- vmception 6y agoThe pill's outer coating is different which contributes to the release schedule. This can be important based on how the body is expected to metabolize it. By default, the body will waste many extra servings of vitamins. There is also the chance of overdosing on it and not getting the desired effect or damaging other organs. Also, this whole conversation about cost is a red herring. I looked at the sister thread and I have no idea what they are talking about. This set of pills was cheaper for me to pay for, with the doctor's prescription, than the lower dosage pills on Amazon. Which I also had purchased upon seeing my blood results, before my doctor had chimed in on the results themselves.
