Re: vit d...d3 or d2 and best source food and supplement

[Guest guest]

D2 (sorry, no subscript) is from veg sources and is what you'll invariably find in "chalav Israel" ("Israel milk") milk--kosher milk that's found for sale in religious neighborhoods. I know that quite a bit of the D3 available is from animal sources but I'm not sure about the particulars (sorry). Either way, Vitamin D is fat-soluble so be careful when you take it. I'd just go with a good commercial supplement or even a good multivitamin that contains the amount you need (I realize this is heresy to a lot of folks here). Solgar is a very reputable brand and there are others as well, e.g., KAL.

In the winter I take D3, 5,000 IU 3 times a day. I get my Vit D levels tested annually.
