Vitamin D Defiecincy
UpdatedMy 18 yr.old daughter was diagnosed with a vitamin D defiency.After reading on line about vitamin D3, I wonder if they prescribed what is best for her, which was Drisdol 1.25 MG. Why 2 D2's and no D3? Would a good grade of cod liver oil be a better choice?

If they prescribed her Drisdol, they did NOT prescribe her the best form of Vitamin D. The reason that they did not give her D3 is that D3 does not come in prescription form and, well, when you have a prescription pad, it's hard to tell your patient to go to the drug store and go buy something. People don't like paying for 'Drugs' and so doctors write a prescription.
It's a two sided problem that will continue until people understand about d3 and doctors are willing to take the time to explain why they need to purchase it themselves.
And NO NO NO, do NOT get Cod liver oil. To get that much vitamin d from cod liver oil,, you would quickly become vitamin A toxic!! Don't do it.
Please read why you should not take Cod liver oil here:

All you need to do is to go out and buy Vitamin d3. Most stores do NOT have it in 50,000 IU capsules, but most have 5000 IU capsules.
Simply have your daughter take 10 of those per week. Spread out or all at once, it doesn't matter.
And PLEASE, get YOUR vitamin D level checked too- do you SERIOUSLY think that yours is higher than your daughter's?
