Itchy? Sniffles? Might want to note the following info that someone shared with me recently.
For Example- "Some Vitamin D supplements are made from wool oil or lanolin. Lanolin is the natural oil that comes from sheep's wool - if you're allergic to wool sweaters, you're going to be allergic to lanolin!"

- Good to note. I never considered that. I am terribly allergic to wool and a few months ago stopped my liquid D and all other supplements so that I could ferret it all out (well, money, too, was a reason to stop and try to get what could from food).
Mushrooms are very high in Vitamin D and other great nutrients. (And, yes, they are safe for those on Candida "control" food plans. Not the same kind of yeast at all.)
Body care & Hair Products would also need more scrutiny for those allergic to wool.
This bring to mind another news flash I'd not been aware of until a couple weeks ago:
Gluten in Vitamin E ? Sure can be.
Also be aware that some Vitamin E is made from wheat, so those who must be gluten-free, this is of concern as Vitamin E is added to lots of supplements. -

Vitamin D supplements can also have soy, and often are in fish oil, including salmon.

- SUNLIGHT directly on skin for at least 20 minutes a day (at least for the next month or so, depending upon location - even sunny winter days will not give us as much Vitamin D but don't shun the sun in winter, either).
Hint for a good mood: TWENTY MINUTES of real light. Do not wear glasses of any kind, or contact lenses - not through a window - and let in some DAY LIGHT (not direct sun in the eyes).
This helps our brain in many ways. But the daylight must have nothing between it and your eyes - for the first 20 minutes of the morning is best to set our circadian rhythm.
Back to Vitamin D:
Eating salmon as food (and other foods rich in Vitamin D) may be best for those in a quandary over supplement ingredients.
Vitamin D: What can high-vitamin D foods do for you?
. . . There are two basic types of vitamin D. . . .
Chart: Four �forms� of Vitamin D
. . . Dihydroxyvitamin D (the only fully active hormonal form of vitamin D) does not last for very long in our body. The half-life of this hormone is between 2-3 weeks. For this reason, our vitamin D needs must be met on a fairly regular basis. . . .
Food Sources: SALMON, etc. . . . -
