Best Vit D3
I am 5 yrs post op and now am very low on my D3.... Got my labs back and the normal range is 25-80 mine came back as back as 4.2 or less as my lab can't test or read any lower than that..... my doc wants me to start 10,000 daily asap ..... i ordered bariatric advanctace dry vit d 5000 but it will take at least a week to get to me so until then i need something else.... I want to get this fixed asap as i will need to get blood/iron transfusions to fix anemia too
I use dry BioTech Pharmacal - D3-50 (50,000 IU) - 100 Count

It is 50,000 iu . yes. A lot. When I was low on D I used that nce a day for a week..then scaled down to 2 times a week for the next month. Retested.
Too high D is toxic. So if you decide to take a lot daily - make sure you get blood work done more often.
Now I take it 2 times a week..it is enough to keep my D in a very good range.
The bottle has 100 caps. That one small bottle lasts me for a year at my current use.

Ditto what HALA said. One 50,000 IU D3 a week from Amazon, and I'm good to go. I take that and my B-12 on Mondays and my levels have been pitch perfect for a few years now.
