    I bought it on the recommendation of an endocrinologist. We should all be taking vitamin. D for 7 winter months. But in the form of a drug, not a supplement!

    First of all, it is a drug, not a supplement, and therefore produced in a completely different regime. So I hope for good digestibility and effectiveness.

    An OTC class drug, therefore, unlike dietary supplements, it must meet the standards of its content.
