I always like to get stuff shipped by Amazon but the vast bulk of it is sold by others. There are umpteen different ones on there all at similar prices. It isn't just one that is cheap.

I will check the label carefully for arsenic in the ingredients. All the stuff about dosages are in the paper in the US government website I linked to.

I find that Amazon are now selling on behalf of other people, some of whom seem unreliable.
I ordered some paint for Marge, which was never delivered.  The company selling it is called
bargainartistshop

The item has never arrived, so I looked up reviews of this company and found that several people have found them unreliable.  I contacted Amazon and they are now dealing with it.  The cost was only a little over £8, but it isn't the money; I refuse to be seen off by criminals!

Quite right too, JBR.
It has been on the news a few times lately about all the scammers leading up to Christmas.


For what it's worth,  here is a piece of advice from the NHS website:

Taking too many vitamin D supplements over a long period of time can cause too much calcium to build up in the body (hypercalcaemia). This can weaken the bones and damage the kidneys and the heart.

If you choose to take vitamin D supplements, 10 micrograms a day will be enough for most people.

Do not take more than 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) of vitamin D a day as it could be harmful. This applies to adults, including pregnant and breastfeeding women and the elderly, and children aged 11 to 17 years.

Are you near enough to go backwards and forwards to see what's going on. Vlad,  or is it the workmen keeping you informed?

Is it likely to be completed before you move in,  or is that not possible?

Very very windy. The front door wasn't locked, but it was on the latch, and blew open!

Sleep well.   Sweet dreams. 

Klondike,  do be careful buying Vitamins from Amazon,  and be absolutely sure they are from reputable people. 

Only a couple of weeks back I read about people buying by price instead of comparing the ingredients.
They say 'cheap'  is usually cheap for a reason.

The article that comes to mind was about people buying cheap meds and flea treatments for animals,  but I don't doubt for one minute, that the same unscrupulous people would also sell human meds too.

Dogs were becoming very ill.    Some collapsed and became emergencies.
When analyzed,  some of these medications contained all sorts of rubbish,  including (would you believe) Arsenic!!

Personally, I would always compare ingredients too,  before I bought anything I was going to swallow.  Buy from a reputable source.

I have always bought from either Healthspan  . . . . . https://www.healthspan.co.uk/

or -

Nature's Best . . . .  https://www.naturesbest.co.uk/?src=GONATOE0C&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=182272028&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvZms7LGxkQMVoJ1QBh2rJDcREAAYASAAEgLNOfD_BwE

Also, with buying from people like this,  you can  ring them up for advice too,  they are very good like that.    You can't do that with Amazon.

I am just about to send for some more Omega capsules.
