Emily just started on vitamin D, too. Per our clinic's suggestion, we are using Walgreens' OTC brand. It is cholecalciferol. Emily should have 800 IU, but clinic said there was no danger in taking 1000. We'll check her levels in November and adjust from there. We are using the geltabs. We punctured it at first and squeezed out the liquid, but after a few days she wanted to just swallow the "bubble." She thinks this is great fun. This is one med that has to go HIGH UP on the shelf becasue it's not child-proofs and I found her looking for her bubbles the other day. Anyway, she can swallow it down by her self, so we'll be trying enzymes that way, soon, too.
There is a 500 IU version of the geltab on the shelf at our Walgreen's. The bottle cost about $7.00 for 60.
I know there was a D3 there, too, but I think it was in a tablet form. I'm curious as to why they specified D3. Anyone know the specifics of the differences between D3 and D? (I could probably just Google it, huh?)
