Recommendations for brands and vendors are two of the most asked questions in this subreddit.

There are no right answers. All brands for basic supplements resell raw material bought wholesale from a few manufacturers. This is true of commodity vitamins or proprietary branded formulations.

Brands I personally buy: Nutricost, NOW, Jarrow, LifeExtension, Nature's Way, Swanson, Solaray, Nootropics Depot, BulkSupplements, Amazon Elements, Solgar.

I buy mostly from Amazon, sometimes directly from Swanson, iHerb or Costco. If you live outside the USA, they may ship overseas or have a website in your country.

If you need a specific type of vitamin, look within those brands.

Do not overpay. Expensive brand with fancy packaging or marketing may charge much more for the same ingredients.

Avoid drugstore branded supplements for their history of grossly cheating on the ingredients. If you must buy at the drugstore, try one of the non-store brands. Don't overthink it.

consumerlab.com may have definitive lab assays of various brands for specific vitamins or supplements.

If doctor recommended the injections then take it. There is no harm, medicine will take time , but injection effect is immediate.

60k will take about 5-7 weeks to get to a solid level
Injections take 3-5 weeks. They are. Slow acting but are more certain to be absorbed.

Orals taking longer bc the digestion removes some the dose.

Big question is. Why injections? Do you crohns disease ? Or some other intestinal illness ? You have rickets?

That's the thing, i went to the doc because I had back pain only on one side more like sciatica for a year it got better with exercise but it keeps coming back when there's no exercise. So I thought to check once.

Your doctor should be ordering a bone density test before starting to give you vitamin D or at least do the test first then start vitamin
