I went to the doctor the other day and had some tests done. I found out that I have a Vitamin D deficiency. Normal levels of vitamin d are between 30-80 and I scored an 8, yikes!! This didn't really surprise me because I am lactose intolerant, a vegetarian and I live in Wisconsin. The doctor wants me to take 4,000 IU's of vitamin d3 each day. The only problem is, all the supplements at my local pharmacy have gelatin in it *insert sad face here* Being that I am a vegetarian I try to avoid by-products of meat. I did a little research online and I couldn't find any supplements out there that didn't have gelatin. Does anyone know of a Vitamin D3 supplement that doesn't have gelatin??

Thanks for your help, peeps!! :)
