Re: [Everything doTERRA] Re: A2Z Question

Hi Lynn,

 

Is D2 in the DoTERRA supplement? I understand concern about these things, but I also think that our supplements are the best around. Having hypoparathyroidism, I have taken both forms of vitamin D, in very large amounts, anywhere from 50,000IU a day to 100,000/150,000IU a day toward the end of my pregnancy. While I prefer, vitamin D3, there was a few years that I could not get it in the amounts I need without swallowing a large amount of pills, and D2 works, it just takes a little longer to be assimilated.

 

I do buy B12 in the methylcobalamin form if my level is low and needs something additional to bring it up. I am not concerned by the smaller amount in DoTERRA supplements.

 

Since using LLV supplements, I feel a noticeable difference in my health. I have never been able to notice that with other supplements. That says something to me.

 

HTH,

Linda in OH

Here is what I got from product support:

"We appreciate your inquiry.  doTERRA's product development team is
familiar with the article you linked and appreciates your feedback.
Though the article contained incorrect and misleading information,
they were correct that a minute amount of cyanide is formed when the
body converts cyanocobalamin to methylcobalamin. The amount produced
is so small that there is no risk of harm. Every cell in the body can
quickly convert cyanide to a harmless molecule. Both forms of B12 are
equally well absorbed and equally effective in the body. However,
doTERRA will take your concern into consideration in future versions
of A2Z Chewable should we make formulation changes."


Here are a few Vitamin D articles that concerned me:
