I just ordered some high potency Vitamin d3 from the US and thought I'd share the info as it is very cheap. You can use my referral number and receive $5 off your first order or $10 if order is over $40: RER863

For example I bought blackmores vitamin D3 1000IU (60 caps) which was the highest dose I could find for $11 something.

Now I just ordered Vitamin D3 5000IU (120caps) for $8 something US (at time of this update they are now $7.17 USD). Before I entered in some heavier stuff my order was $34.32US for 4 bottles and only $3 postage! From what I can tell if your order weighs less then 1360 grams then the postage is only $3 for USPS (flat fee postage/snail mail has since changed to $4 with DHL priority mail).

So that's a huge bargain, my order for just those only weighed 0.05kg so you could buy heaps of that and still get cheap postage.

My postage is more expensive however as I spotted erythritol, wanted to get xylitol too but noticed it is on the TGA list so I couldn't. The erythritol was $28.99 USD (now $33.59USD but still much cheaper) for 2.6kg so much cheaper then buying it here in Australia.

PS: Just noticed that when you order you get a referral number, if anyone orders using your referral number they get $5-$10 voucher and the other person gets a commission/discount towards next order and then you can do the same thing and so on. My referral number is RER863 if anyone decides to give them a go! it all helps with the running of this website and you get a discount

Yep Stuart bought it in bulk from kingfoods, I think in lots of 25kg.

I take vitamin D because its winter and I am deficient 59 (60-160) but also because it will help ward off colds and flu. vitamindcouncil.org

Bugger, didn't know there was free stuff!!!

Oh I also bought this to try: NuNaturals, NuStevia, NoCarbs Blend, 3.5 oz (98 g) It is stevia that allegedly has the bitterness removed and is mixed in with some erythritol to make it easier to measure. You can but it in a 2.2kg bag but I figured I'd try it first as the extract I used to use would give me nausea. Oh I didn't buy any but there were a few different flavoured stevia drops that had no preservatives in them.

I was tempted to buy some R-ALA as well but I will buy that next time as I found an Australian source for cheap ALCAR so bought some of that too

No it doesn't have the laxative effect as far as I know. This is why I can eat a whole well naturally bar with no effect. The only thing is it is only 75% as sweet as sugar so best to combine it with something else like stevia or splenda for those whom don't feel it is a problem. It also has a cooling effect so may not work in all recipes on it's own apparently. I have never had it yet so I just bought one bag and if I like it I will buy more. I do like xylitol too so far with no problems (maybe because I combined it with another sweetener).

I have a packet of erythritol coming and a thing of stevia that is mixed with erythritol.

I just noticed something on my receipt with iherb. One they gave me a 5% discount for spending over $60 but also if anyone does their first order using my referral number, they also get a $5 discount and I get a discount towards my next order or something like that and then these people can do the same thing and so on like a pyramid.

My referral number is RER863 if anyone decides to give them a go

My order came today, have a look at how big the 340g tub of stevia and the 5lb bag or erythritol is in comparison to my vitamin D caps. The vitamin D bottle is say around the same size as a swisse multivitamin bottle. Keep in mind the stevia is a blend of stevia and maltodextrin, they have an erythritol blend as well:

I plan to make a coconut lemon slice today, hopefully it works!

Coconut Lemon Slice:

Shez I have been having the stevia/erythritol mix with my coffees and they are fine. I find a level 1/4tsp is spot on if I heap it at all a little too sweet but no bitterness. I haven't tried erythritol on its own yet.

No not yet.

I am taking a vitamin D capsule everyday, at least for now

Its interesting how the 5000IU capsule are so much smaller then the 1000UI blackmore ones!
