Also, if it is prescription, it is terrible stuff. It isn't D3, it is D2 and it doesn't convert well at all. You'd be better off throwing the prescription away and buying it from a health food store. Make sure it is cholecaliferol, not ergocaliferol.

This is not true for all of us. I took the script for 9 months-50,000 IU's twice a week. My level of Vitamin D was very low a 4-lab ranges for low normal are 20-30 at the lab my endo uses. I took the script and my levels are in the normal range and suffered no ill health effects from it. I feel better and like a new person since getting my levels straightened out. I also took CLO before and during the time I took the script.  |
