Difference between Vitamin D an Vitamin D3

Hi Frances,

Yes, there is definitely a difference between Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. I've actually covered this in detail on this Vitamin D3 page.

So, you are already taking Vitamin D3 and that's good, but I have no idea why your gums would be red and swollen. Are you sure that there was no possibility that they were not red and swollen BEFORE you started taking the Vitamin D3? Or is it possible that you are just beginning to notice it right now? It sounds like an EXTREMELY unlikely Side Effect of Vitamin D.

If it really did start after starting the Vitamin D, I don't know what to say, other than the fact that it MIGHT be coincidental. But either way, you should take a look at the book Money By the Mouthful to see how you can heal your periodontal disease before it's too late!

But another thing. 2000 IU's is WAY too low to be a Treatment of Vitamin D Deficiency.

Where your doctor got that number, I have NO IDEA! It is certainly NOT the 'standard of care'. In fact, it is the MAINTENANCE dose for a 2 year old CHILD- certainly not TREATMENT for an adult!

So, you really need to read the Treatment of Vitamin D Deficiency page and really familiarize yourself with vitamin d dosages.

I hope that this helps you get on the right track with your vitamin d!
