The important thing is to use Cholecalciferol I use Bio-Tech Vitamin D3 but I have been told that VITALADY.COM are a little cheaper as they do an own brand (made by Biotech) for a tad less. As I usually buy two pots of 250 x 5000iu it will be a while before I reorder and find out how much Vitalady charge for postage.
2 pots of 250 x 5000iu Bio-tech cost about £20 including p&p so around 4p daily altogether.

Dr Davis of the Heartscanblog recommends 2x Carlson, Vitamin D, 2000 IU, 360 Soft Gels daily $11.28 there is a code for $5 off your first Iherb order in the referrals board.

Holland and Barrett do 1000iu for £7.49 but you would need to take 5 daily 37p/d

Those who do follow my links will see from Figure 1 here that using 5000iu/daily will take between 70-120 days starting from a baseline around 70nmol/l to achieve optimal status. Most UK adults will only achieve 70nmol/l at the end of summer so starting from 40nmol/l will take a bit longer although you will see that during the initial stages the rise in status is steep and the rate of increase tails off as your body's daily needs are satisfied and some starts being put into store.

Thank you for this, I'm an Iherb customer, so alas I've already had the $5 off. However I'd already looked them up on there and the best I could come up with was Life Extension 5000 IU cholecalciferol for $8.75. I'll certainly have a look at VITALADY.COM though so cheers for that too :beer: . I am due to see a specialist at my local Pain Clinic at the end of June with a view to spinal injections, at present I am using Durogesic pain patches but since these are morphine based:eek: I'd like to not have to rely on them.

Thanks again.
