Help buying multivitamins
So I was on a high dose of vitamin d and my Dr said I need to continue taking over the counter vitamin d. She recommended 400-1000ui of vitamin d. I asked if I can just take multivitamin tablets as that way I get anything else I'm lacking because my diet isn't great and she also said even if my diet was good it's safe for me to take multivitamins. The issue is I looked for a multivitamin and can't find one that has the recommended dosage of vitamin d for me. Any ideas of a suitable one?

If you’re happy taking tablets then these should be perfectly fine! I’m 19 and even at my big age, I dread taking any tablets. You can usually get alternative ones that come as a gummy and do the exact same job - on top of that it tastes nice
I took multivitamin gummies for over 3 months and I noticed my hair was growing stronger and thicker, improved mood, better skin, etc. Also another thing to mention is, although you are taking a multivitamin tablet, dont forget to each all your good foods!! You can find vitamin D in fish & eggs.. if you’re more of a sweet tooth then try oranges!!

It's ludicrously expensive as you are paying for a heavily marketed brand. You can buy multivitamins such as Boots own label for a fraction of the price. You can buy a year's supply of 1000 IU vitamin D for under £10.

The thing is the multivitamins have at least 200 iu of vitamin d in them already so to buy another vitamin d separate isnt ideal I'd rather just take one tablet rather than 2

If you have a half-decent diet, you don't need to take multivitamins
I had the same dilemma when I was trying to stay within the dosage my GP recommended but still wanted the coverage from a multivitamin. I never found an off-the-shelf option that fit perfectly, so I ended up splitting up my doses, taking a multivitamin every other day and a separate low-dose D3 each day. That helped keep me in range without overdoing it.
What really helped me recently though was switching to a personalized supplement plan that adjusts based on my diet and bloodwork. It's been simpler to manage and I don’t stress about whether I’m taking too much or too little of something.
