after my thyroid surgery I felt terrible, after a blood test my Vit D level was 12 and normal is around 50. I take 50,000 units every other week, but I can't say I fell much better. Most women's vit d level is low. Everyone should have the test

I order my Vit/Supplements from Swanson Health Products.
They have no additives/preservatives like OTC products.
They also are free of sugar, yeast and wheat.
The products are all natural. I've been using them for 10 years and am totally satisfied with their products.
I can order 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. No prescriptions.
For a free catalog call 1-800-4148

Thanks for a new link for herbs .I have been using Vitacost to order all my things and for the dogs. I looked at Swanson and they do carry the homeopathic and flower remedies I use. butThey don't carry Kava. I use it at night.

Hmmm my doctor put me on pre-natals so i'm prepared for when we "start trying". I wonder how much vitamin d is in it?? i remember back in the day vitamin d was ignored and we were told yeah it's not important. Ha! How time changes things.

adyldrop - see if the label lists it; if it does, then it will tell you how much is there.
I started taking the Vit. D this morning. I think that I'm starting to feel better, but I will reserve judgment for a couple of days.
Has anyone started feeling better the same day when he/she started taking it?

Of course he's going to say that--he is a skin specialist.
It only takes approx 15 minutes a day of sunshine so your body can have vitamin D naturally.
Sunscreen is one of the reasons so many people are deficient, besides a poor diet.
I burn very easily but I can be outside for 15 minutes without any redness. Of course one shouldn't go out in the hottest part of the day. Good way to get a sunburn.
I am allergic to sunscreen so don't use it anyway--am just mindful of how long I have been out.
