I can't be sure now what type it was I threw the bottle out .. but it was prescription level .. I couldn't buy it over the counter... so I don't know if that helps tell you what type it was.

I have my 6 month appt next friday and I will get some bloodwork done then and I will see if it's working or not

OH and Charlie .. I got ya beat .. mine was 10

But otherwise I am doing pretty good

If it was by prescription, it was D2. Which is not the kind we need to take. We need D3.

Is that for Vitamin D or something else?

My doctor/dietician didn't tell me all this - that I need a citrate, not a carbonate - and just said I needed Vitamin C with the Feosol (Iron) and Vitamn D. I don't have the bottle with me so I don't know for sure which Vitamin C and D I am taking.

Am I doing something wrong? Am I taking too many vitamins? Too little?

Yep - your dietician needs to be aware that she's recommending Viactive chews. They're calcium carbonate and not calcium citrate - she should know better.
