Supplements the debate/discussion thread

Early this year, someone posted a link to these Vitamin D 5000iu tabs, like £12 for 360, think it was an Amazon seller. Well I'm down to my last few of these now and can't find them anywhere

Anyone got a link if they know what I'm talking about. I know a few people bought them from here

^^ Been using those for years.

Question - who here supplements with CoQ10?

Reason I mention, is that with vit D - high doses can lead to hypertension - coq10 may help mitigate that risk.

Other than the fact that all the research seems to praise coq10 to be a decent pro-health compound.

MIRIN!!!!

Cheers, my search is most definitely weak. They've gone down in price too!!

Wow really? How high a dose are we talking?

That's sort of put me off ordering these again

I take a combined tablet that has vitamin D and Q10 amongst many others.

Cant' remember - but I always take 5000ius over the winter time.

Steedie · 11 Dec 2012 at 13:33

Ah ok, so 5,000ius would be pretty safe? You're not going to develop hypertension from that?

delta0 · 11 Dec 2012 at 13:43

What about the effects on calcium with that high dose?

Last time i checked it was way higher than 5000ius that caused problems. IIRC that's the tolerable max for 7-10 year olds or something. Adults is more like 10,000

2500 - 5000 is recommended, i take 5000.

Healthy Origins is the brand i use, purchased from Amazon.

360 softgels, 1 capsule is 5000iu and you take it once a day.

Looks like there's a new supplement supplier just opened up, doing the same thing as bulkpowders/myprotein etc. They're more expensive it seems, but they do have the create your own blend, which some might find useful (MP used to do this).

Looks good - will have to wait and see what supplements they offer when they're fully up and running.
