    Great, you mean I dont have to go outside anymore? ;)

    • sparkles on 23/07/2013 - 10:38

      I guess I could have added it's also good for those that never leave the house LOL.

        You only need 600 IU per day

        That dose is ~ 9 times more than what u need

        • Grok on 23/07/2013 - 12:42

          Apparently one hour in the sun will allow your body to make 10,000 IU of Vit D

  • easternculture on 23/07/2013 - 10:34

    That is a lot of Vit D for a healthy person

    • CodeXD on 23/07/2013 - 10:36

      dont take it all at once

    • tanabe88gg on 23/07/2013 - 10:41

      I agree. I honestly think self diagnosing and medicating with super doses of vitamins is really only going to cause people harm in the long run

      You can be "healthy" and also Vit D deficient. My wife was told to be on at least 10k per day by her docs. My sister is a GP also and recommended she take 50k for a month and then level out at 10k.

      • easternculture on 23/07/2013 - 11:04

        each person is unique , If someone takes 5000 IU doesnt mean we all have to do that.

        Your wife is taking it based on medical advice which is ok.

        What i meant t say is superdosing with Vit D without consulting any Dr can be dangerous with many health implications in the future.

        You may save $10 today by buying this now and end up paying $250 consultant fee + treatment and meds which may cost you a fortune.

        • [Deactivated] on 23/07/2013 - 12:02

          I agree with you on this. My FIL took massive doses of vitamin C every day for years thinking it was doing him good and now his doctor has diagnosed him with a bunch of health problems as a result.

          Vitamin C megadosing doesn't cause any permanent health problems as far as I'm aware. You could eat a kilo of the stuff and be fine (after the diarrhea of course). It isn't dangerous at all.

          Everything should be taken in moderation

          If you take excessive doses of anything, you may develop health problems

        • [Deactivated] on 24/07/2013 - 07:59

          His doc seems to think differently. Stomach and liver problems I think, but not sure of the details.

      • miffy on 23/07/2013 - 15:21

        Yeah, Vitamin D deficiency is surprisingly common amongst 'healthy' people in the developed world, because we avoid the sun so much.

    • antler on 23/07/2013 - 13:16

      For those complaining about the amount of vitamin D: it differs from person to person - not to mention your lifestyle. I'm on 5000IU/day and my levels of Vit D and calcium are fine. Yes, people do take it. It's very common to see 5000IU capsules for sale in US/Canada. I've had to source it from there because no one here sells that dosage and taking 5 x 1000IU pills sourced from here would be relatively expensive.

      I've read that it's possible to take 10000IU safely. However, as always, it depends on your health condition. Get a blood test prior to taking anything, and always follow up with one afterwards.

    Each to their own but I thought I'd put in my two cents about the vitamins part of this deal - especially if someone wants to chow down supermegaawesome amounts of vitamins.

    It may be worth reading this article at the Atlantic http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/07/the-vitami…

    The choice quote is "Whatever the reason, the data are clear: high doses of vitamins and supplements increase the risk of heart disease and cancer; for this reason, not a single national or international organization responsible for the public's health recommends them."

    • markjd on 23/07/2013 - 13:41

      Good story. That Pauling guy was a chump!

  • yanman on 23/07/2013 - 10:48

    Nice work. They were obviously updating the shipping info as I was browsing :p To start with it showed $6.12 but with $4 in red underneath, then later it just showed $4 :p

    I ended up getting the 1 free item but adding this big pack of D's that are actually cheaper per tablet for the same dosage:
    http://au.iherb.com/21st-Century-Health-Care-Vitamin-D3-5000…

    Also ordered the 200 tablet pack of one-a-day mens multivitamins for $20

    Got the $5 discount from referral too!

    Just what I needed.. My urine has been severely lacking excess vitamin D

  • SpaceNinja on 23/07/2013 - 13:53

    Does anyone buy bargain medication regularly from overseas; I feeling a bit hesitant; how reliable are they?
    If they are from US does FDA regulate (audit/test/evaluate etc) the supplements like these as well? thanks.

    • maybeamacy on 23/07/2013 - 14:59

      The FDA is actually the US regulation. Medicines here are screened by the TGA ;)

      • SpaceNinja on 23/07/2013 - 17:05

        iHerb is located in US.

        • maybeamacy on 23/07/2013 - 19:11

          Thus they'd be regulated by the FDA :)

  • Zed on 23/07/2013 - 14:18

    Good deal. bought 1 x vit D, 1 lip balm, and the mug. all for $6.

  • BarginHunter on 23/07/2013 - 15:36

    Anyone know how much bank fees I'm likely to incur by using my comm bank Mastercard debit card?

    • obtino on 23/07/2013 - 21:05

      Credit cards typically charge 3% on top of the conversion rate that they use.
