to be fair I am slightly deficient - not just in vitamin D 😂

Had bloods because have been feeling somewhat crappy.

Slightly deficient in vit D. Advised by Gp to take an over the counter supplement.

what’s a good one please?

ps. I’m peri- menopausal if that helps you recommend something 😂

Thanks !

The BetterYou sprays are excellent - go for a high dose if you are deficient. They are widely sold at e.g. Boots, big Tesco stores, maybe Superdrug. Certainly Holland and Barrett stock a range of them and will often have a multibuy offer (which is welcome, because they aren’t cheap!).

I use these
vit d

and add these
vit k

as Vitamin K is important alongside Vitamin D

I use the Solgar brand. My body pains return if I use anything else other than Solgar.

Interested in this thread?

I also use the Better You brand, the liquid is sprayed under the tongue and absorbs easily. Doctor advised taking the one with vitamin K as well else D on its own can cause other issues.

Another vote here for the spray, easily absorbed and my levels went much higher than with tablets.

I use the vitabiotics from boots

go for 25units1000 IU or the higher strength

they are on 3 for 2

what ever you get make sure it’s D3 and not D2 as it’s not as effective
