The whole milk I drink contains vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) seems to be much more effective in raising your blood levels of vitamin D than Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol).

Vitamin D3 gel capsules are cheap and easy to obtain over the internet. I take 5,000 units a day.

BJ,

No, I don't know exactly what the tests pick up. All I see from the test is my result, and, what the normal range is.

I've seen one reference (possibly in the Research Survey Hollick did a couple years ago) that it takes 3 units of D2 to equal 1 unit of D3. The supplement I take is D3; and most fortified foods that I eat claim they contain D3.

Ian
