Prescribed 20,000 IU one a day for two weeks then one monthly for six months then re-test. Prescription of Fultium have gelatin in them, refined maize oil, butylated hydroxytoluene, glycerol, quinoline yellow, purified water. Not happy with gelatin and concerned about the other contents.. Can you good people please recommend a vegetarian/vegan option that fits the bill? What dose of K2 do I need to aid absorption and has anybody had any side effects with this dose that I need to consider. Thank you.
what was your vit D level. Mine was 9 and the endo prescribed Ergocalciferol drops 20,000 i.u each week for 212 weeks then re tested. Adcal D3 is not strong enough.
Hi Should be 12 weeks at 20,000 i.u each week not 212!!!
Adcal D3 is a combination of calcium and vitamin D3 but at a very low inadequate dose.I would not bother with calcium carbonate as it clogs up the blood vessels.
I think you can only get the drops by prescription. Your bloods need monitoring though so please be careful.My endo set my range at 80.
I suspect the dose of vitamin D depends on how deficient you are in it.
I am intolerant to corn, wheat, gluten, soy, amaranth, aspartame many drugs contain the afore mentioned. Another nasty is sorbitolwhich uses severe diarrhoea!!
