A member asked:
What type of vitamin d do you recommend for a person with hypothirodism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
D3 because this is: the active form of D & a large minority of people do not convert D or D2 (the prescription form of D) into D3 reliability. However, the only way to know is to measure serum D3 concentration, not just D or D2. Beware that many OTC brands do not work well; I have seen great success with an OTC brand containing 50,000 IU derived from sheep lanolin; usually taken about once weekly.
