Vitamin D3 is the active form, which goes right to work for you.

Some doctors do not understand the difference.

I have seen comparisons that D2 (ergocalciferol) is about 1/2 as biologically potent/active as an equal dose of D3 (cholecalciferol).

The only RX version of Vit D available as a single entity (not mixed with calcium or other vits), is D2.

All of the new recommendations coming out are for D3 version.

Yippy! I got the right stuff!!! Stoped at Sam's club on the way home yesterday after rereading your post to me about vit's. It's D-3 2000iu per pill. I'm out in the sun a bit now so I guess I need to be a bit careful.


Question:

Does a normal blood test show D levels? I will look at mine when I get home from work. Even if it says I'm ok I'm going to take this for 3 months to see if it helps.

BTW, I'm really excited!!! Going hiking in the Rockies tomorrow!!!! Wish me luck. It's the best exercise for me and for some reason if I keep chugging along with my heart rate high my pain is low. I can't get this from anything else other then swimming. Running kills my feet. Weird. I love reaching the summits. I can't get this feeling from normal life anymore. Mowing lawn or what ever is really painful. I feel free for a few minutes.
