Correcting a vitamin D deficiency

[Guest guest]

High quality cod liver oil it totally D3. Contact the manufacturer

if in doubt. I would stay away from capsules because of high cost

and needing to take so many of them. I use Carlson's lemon flavored

cod liver oil which tastes pleasant. I have no know D deficiency,

but I rarely get sunlight because I work nights and sleep in the day.

I take a tablepoon a day.

I just had my vitamin D tested for the first time and my level is 19.

I'm uneasy about taking cod liver oil given the controversy I keep

reading about, that the vitamins are destroyed in processing and

synthetic ones are added back in, including a synthetic vitamin A.

 

So I'm considering taking a D3 supplement in capsule form. If I go

this route, what would be the right amount to take per day to correct

my deficiency?

 

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Alobar,

 

Carlson's is rumored to be one of the brands that add back D3 made

from lanolin, along with vitamin A, and they don't say anything to

the contrary on their website. Do you know if that is true? I take

12 grams of chlorella and 6 grams of spirulina every day, so I get

plenty of vitamin A from beta carotene. A straight vitamin A

supplement may not be safe.

 

Some brands like Nordic Naturals do not add back the vitamins. You

can see that the vitamins are destroyed in processing because the A

and D content of Nordic Naturals is extremely low.

Yes, this is the site that scared me away from CLO. It says to take

D3 capsules instead.

I suspect the bad talk about Carlson's is simply wrong. Why don't

you e-mail them and ask directly.

 

Being diabetic, I can't take beta carotene because it messes with my

glucometer readings. I have no idea why.

 

Carlsons has removed some of the Vitamin A. Some people feel the

fear about vitamin A is incorrect also. See Vitamin A toxicity,

about 2/3 the way down this webpage:
