Hi Nicola,

I'm sorry you're having a bad reaction with the Vit. D. So frustrating, isn't it? Especially for those of us who really need to supplement with it. I know when I had my Vit. D levels tested last year, I only regsitered a level of 9. That's the category for Ricketts! Healthy levels should start at 50 and 50 is the lowest acceptable level according to the tons of new research findings that are coming out.

I take a Vitamin D supplement that is liquid. It's by Biotics Research Corporation. I just squeeze a drop (or more, depending upon how much you need to supplement) on my tongue. My holistic doctor recommended this brand to me. They also make the same Vitamin D supplement in a 400 i.u. strength as well.

I'm afraid I don't know what the source of the D3 is in this formulation. But here is the link to the company. You can contact them to find out, if you like.

I hope you feel better soon.

p.s. In lieu of all the overwhelming evidence that Vit. D deficiency might be epidemic, 2 of my docs are testing their patients across the board. They've both told me that they've found alarming deficiencies in the majority. This is regardless of their sun exposure!
