Vitamin d over the counter is not regulated by the FDA. Please consider sticking with a brand that works for you. Switching brands may mean a different dose, because of lack of regulation, and I strongly recommend retesting in three months to see where you are with the 25(oh)D test. A study last year showed that of ten different brands one had only a third the amount stated on the label. This article is a example of the another extreme and my readings state 40,000 iu a day WILL put you on the road to vitamin D toxicity!
