D2 is the Devil’s D, the occult form. D3 is like the Holy Trinity — good stuff. ~~

“what is D3 and where can I get it?”

I’m no brain surgeon but I think its just the next evolution of D-2. We buy it at CVS Pharmacy. Get the bottle that has the little round gel caps not the pills.

You can get too much Vitamin D through supplements, if you are taking mega doses you should get tested periodically.

It’s when your body makes it from exposure to the sun that it will stop production when you have enough Vit D.

Sure let’s add Ritalin and Prozac to the water supply too.

I'm okay with adding vitamin D to bread as long as there's a choice. I think they routinely add some of the B complex to bread right now.

I take 30,000 unites of D3 a day, more if I know I’ve been exposed to colds or flu.

30,000 IU is a lot. From what I've read, too much. Are you sure about what you're doing?

It hasn’t bothered me at all. It compares to what you get from spending an hour and a half in the sun with no shirt, it’s not that much. Mind you, this isn’t a recommendation for anyone else. I think many thousands more units would be necessary to reach toxic levels. I’ve even heard figures like a million units, but I won’t be testing that. Thanks!

What about good old D-1? Is there a D-4 on the horizon?

They also fortify bread with iron, which can be dangerous for people with iron overload.

Yes!

My 13-year-old can’t swallow pills no matter how hard she tries. We love the chewies!

I must be getting early Alzheimer's because I can't swallow a bunch of pills anymore. But then I did fine skiing Monday so who knows?
