Here is one article that goes into detail about Quest's problems with Vit D testing.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/08/bu...08labtest.html

And another from more recently 2012:

and:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0625152310.htm

These are the only oral products of ergocalciferol in the FDA orange book (on RX)

The D2 sources I am finding are Vegan made.
like this one...

800IU to 2,000IU only.

And this was posted yesterday on our MG forum:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread231959.html

To get around the testing dilemma for Vit D, one might track their calcium serum levels instead. Something to think about.
