Hi!

Where to get D - Vitamin with 1000iu pr. tablet in Thailand!

Thanks!

Have you tried Fascino? Don't know where you are but Fascino's are all over Thailand in most large cities.

Thanks, is Fascino the brand name on the Vitamins?

No, it is the name of a drug store chain

Hospital. Doc at Bumrungrad gave me capsules when I was diagnosed with deficiency, later I tried to find them in pharmacies but no luck so bought online instead (easier than going to the hospital!!).

I was told in a Bangkok pharmacy that, of all things, Vitamin D is a controlled in Thailand and that I had to go to the hospital to get it!!! I assume it requires doctor's prescription.

I was also looking to get 1000 IU as my doctor in Singapore recommended cutting down from my current 2000 IU dosage. So I got it in a pharmacy in Singapore.

Forgot to mention - the nice thing about the capsules from Bumrungrad was that they are mega-strength to be be taken once a month. Really loved that as I hate having to swallow pills every day!

BUT - I HAD done the blood test and the results showed deficiency (probably because it's so hot here I hide from the sun as much as possible).

Doc also said too much of it is no good though so it's not recommended to take mega-doses without having had a blood test first.

I use Iherb.com. They ship to Thailand and have the lowest airfreight costs I have seen. If you use this code YOQ460 (or one of the other codes found on the internet) you get USD 5 of your first order which pays for the shipping. Keep the order total under about Baht 1200 Baht (from my experience) and customs will not hold it for taxes/duties. Cheers!
