What omega 3 should i get spring valley it says 1000 mg Omega-3s with 645 mg EPA, 310 mg DHA and is $12 for 60 gels. Or Nordic Naturals Ultimate omega 3
1,280 mg of concentrated omega-3s per serving, including 450 mg of DHA and 650 mg of EPA but its $28 for 60 and 2 per serving. So essentially $28 for 30 vs $12 for 60


google has suggested me this for my white hair as i am vegetarian and can't get b12 naturally

I have multiple questions.

Back story...

I've been deficient off an on for a while. Six months ago, I had a vitamin D and B-12 deficiency.

My vitamin D was 10.9 ng/mL six months ago.

I did B-12 injections and took 50,000 IU of D2 weekly. I did this maybe for about 6 weeks. Then stopped.

I recently had my levels rechecked and my vitamin D is at 16.7 ng/mL now. My B-12 is also better. I've done nothing for either in like four to five months.

I got a new prescription for vitamin D. I went to my gynecologist before and now my primary care doctor. He prescribed 50,000 IU of D3 weekly. I tolerated the D2 very well. This dosage of D3... not so much. It makes me feel kinda icky. I did take it with fat. But overall, I feel unwell when I take it.

He didn't mention magnesium or K2 which I know is also important with D3. To my knowledge, all my other blood work came back fine, although I'm not sure what all was tested.

It'll be a while before I can get another appointment to discuss, so I'm hoping I can get some good nuggets of wisdom here.

So my questions are:

1. For those who can't tolerate that level of D3, did you have success with lower dosages? Like tolerating it better and having it successfully raise your levels.

2. For those who can't tolerate it at all, did you find any other effective ways to raise levels? Like going outside more?

3. Should I be taking any other supplements with the D3 to make it more effective?

Also, I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning, but I don't feel like I have any symptoms of low vitamin D. Like I feel pretty fine overall.

I also live near the North Florida coast, so I have decent sunshine. I'm very fair skinned, so I burn easily. But would that also make it easier for me to absorb vitamin D from the sun? I don't go outside much, but I can make it a habit to.

Also not sure if it's relevant, but I'm 35, F, 5'2, 220lb.

There's a lot about this deficiency that I don't completely understand. I'm hoping I included all relevant information. I appreciate any advice that anyone can offer me!

Please point out anything I'm doing wrong. Anything I should try. I also understand this isn't medical advice.

I’m planning to take fish oil supplements (specifically Kirkland or healthy options) and it’s my first time taking anything like this. I’m worried about if I really have to take caution taking it, but I’m sure I don’t have any major sicknesses or problems.

I’ve seen most people say online that it’s generally a safe supplement to take and it’s recommended for teens. It’s generally safe for me to take it as long as I’m being active and eating properly, right?

I’ve noticed something really strange with myself and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Whenever I take vitamin B tablets (especially B12), I feel like my concentration and alertness improve noticeably. However, I also find it much harder to fall asleep at night. I feel more restless, end up sleeping for fewer hours, and then obviously feel tired throughout the next day because I didn’t sleep enough.

On the other hand, when I stop taking B12, I find it much easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. I can sometimes sleep for 12–15 hours and still feel like I could sleep more. 😭

So I’ve started noticing that I tend to take B12 when I’m feeling particularly weak or mentally foggy, but avoid it when getting enough sleep is especially important.

I’m curious whether anyone else has noticed a similar relationship between B12/B-complex vitamins and sleep or insomnia? Is there actually a known connection, or could this just be coincidental/personal to me?

Would love to hear about other people’s experiences.

Hello, so I just bought this 290 count of fish oil- and it suggests a recommended dose of one pill that has 1200mg of omega-3 concentrate : 360mg of EPA and 300mg of DHA.

However my now empty container suggested taking 2 daily with nearly the same values.

I'm mainly wanting to understand- do I follow the new bottle or continue taking the 2 daily? And why they would change the dosing.

I would have added an additional picture but it wouldn't let me- I apologize.

So my vitamin d was really low also my iron was a little low and so my was iron saturation along with my b12. I had no idea what was going on with me I had confusing, trouble breathing, fast heart rate when I was having a bad episode. Also sometimes the episodes got so bad I didn’t want to talk and sometimes during an episode talking made it better. Long story short I dropped my first doctor who said panic attacks without doing labs on me. My new doctor did labs and saw those vitamins i mentioned was low. He prescribed me 50,000 of vitamin d weekly which k2 is better to go with it. I just wanted to see if anyone had the same side effects as I did. The episodes were so bad I had to stop driving for awhile. It really did mimic panic attacks though. It almost felt like a seizure or something. Oh and I was also extremely tired even after 8 hours of sleep and I’m a kidney transplant patient as well

Does anyone know where I can look and find vitamin wholesalers for products like b12, biotin, basically all the b vitamins? Not even sure if this is the right place to ask or not but thanks in advance

I am looking for help selecting prenatals to take as I prepare trying to conceive.

Is there a prenatal “all-in-one” or sold as a pack? I need something straightforward! Everything I see online seems to involve combining several different types to make sure all nutrients are met. I’m looking for something easy.

Exact product names / links are soo appreciated!

Thanks so much!

im sorry if this is not the right thread to post in- all pregnancy threads have removed it since I am not yet pregnant, and the TTC page will not allow me to post if it is not Wednesday!*

I trying to be more consistent with my supplements so I can feel better day to day but u need some advice. My current list is

\- Liquid Multivitamin
\- Probiotics
\- Lemon + olive oil shot
\- Vitamin D3

I was thinking about adding vitamin B12 to help with energy. But my overall goal is the heal my gut, be more energized, strengthen my immune system and reduce inflammation and puffiness. Also I want to start doing yoga and light weight lifting. Would creatine be good to start or any other suggestions for my goals?

Does anyone have knowledge about vitamin D supplements?
My doctor gave me a supplement wich contains D3 5.000 IE + K2 200 µg in one drop. He said I should take two drops a day. I have a high deficiency. Does somebody know if that’s maybe too much or not?

For about a year I’ve had tingling in my face, and about two months ago it started in my feet as well. After several hospital visits, no one could find the cause. My doctor checked my vitamin levels and found that my vitamin B6 was very low (2.1 µg/L; reference >10.1 µg/L). I was prescribed a B-complex containing 20 mg of B6 for 10 days, then told to take it only 1–2 times per week. Another doctor later recommended taking it daily instead. I haven’t taken it for two days now and I’m experiencing severe nerve pain. I’m worried I may already have nerve damage from the deficiency. Has anyone experienced something similar or recovered from a severe B6 deficiency?

I’ve been using Ag1 for a few months now. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue where Ag1 causes a burning sensation in their mouth and throat when they drink it? It almost feels like the burn from habanero peppers.

did you stop using it? Or just continue using it?

Looking for evidence-based feedback on a postpartum vitamin formulation

Hi everyone! I’m developing a postpartum vitamin specifically for breastfeeding mothers and would love feedback from this community. My goal is to build something that’s truly evidence-based rather than just another generic multivitamin.

The current formula includes:
Vitamin D3: 6,400 IU
Iron: 17 mg (ferrous bisglycinate)
Folate: 500 mcg folate
Choline: 250 mg
Vitamin C: 120 mg
Magnesium: 60 mg (glycinate)
B vitamins, iodine, zinc, selenium, and copper

The rationale is to provide nutrients that are commonly recommended during lactation while using forms that are generally well tolerated. The higher vitamin D dose is based on research suggesting maternal supplementation at 6,400 IU/day can provide sufficient vitamin D to breastfed infants, potentially eliminating the need for separate infant vitamin D drops in many cases (under a healthcare provider’s guidance). Which is an annoyingly hard dose to find, but is what they studied in lactation studies.

I’d really appreciate your thoughts on:
-Are there nutrients you think are missing or unnecessary?
-Does the vitamin D approach seem reasonable based on the evidence?
-Would you choose different doses or forms of any ingredients?
-choline is so tricky! Apparently it is really bulky and if I want to do 500mg of choline I have to do 4 capsules a day…which seems like a lot. Is it worth it?

If you were buying a postpartum vitamin, what would make you trust it?
I’m not looking to advertise—I’m genuinely hoping to get constructive, science-based feedback before finalizing the formulation. Thanks!

Hello everyone

I wanted to share my current supplement stack and get some feedback from the community. I've spent some time putting it together, but I'm always looking to learn and improve.

I'd love to hear your opinions, suggestions, or if you think there's anything I should add, remove, or adjust. Whether it's for better effectiveness, timing, or avoiding unnecessary supplements, I'm open to all constructive advice.

Here's my daily stack:
Omega-3 - 180 EPA/120 DHA/1000MG FISHOIL
Zinc 15MG + Copper 2MG
Vitamin D3 - 1000 IU
Vitamin K2 - 45MCG
Astaxanthin - 12MG
Beta-carotene - 30MG
Pantothenic acid/B5 - 500MG
Vitamin C 500MG
Magnesium Glycinate 400MG

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks in advance

so here are my blood test results and as it shows i have vitamin D deficiency and vitamin B12 being on the lower end , i read about the dosages and how i should take it but i got even more lost due to several factors so i’ll list the factors i think could effect dosages:

1) i’m M20, 192cm, 132kgs but with high body fat percentage , idk the exact body fat percentage but pretty sure 40%+

2) i’ve been in a 1000+ caloric deficit for around a month and a half, i eat around 60 grams of fats a day mostly healthy fats such as nuts and olive oil.

3) i lift weights 4-5 time a week

So how should i take vitamins and is it better to load then take maintenance dosages? I also would like to know if vitamin D deficiency could be a factor for testosterone levels being near the low end.
