JK, Please check out https://www.diffen.com/difference/Vitamin_D2_vs_Vitamin_D3 and see what you think about the differences between D2 and D3. You can find thousands of websites talking about the differences between D2 and D3. D2 is not as "fine" as D3 is. I cannot understand why any doctor would tell you to take D2. D3 is for building bones in humans. And as I mentioned below, please check into Vitamin K2 (MK4 and MK7) which seems to be very promising for bone health. Here is something you can read about K2 (MK4 and MK7). I buy a wonderful supplement from Amazon for my vitamin K2. Not many doctors know about K2 yet. I think it might be the key we have been looking for. Here is the best source of information I have yet to find on K2: https://www.diffen.com/difference/Vitamin_D2_vs_Vitamin_D3

@parrotqueen I was able to get an appointment on Wednesday, a month sooner than I had been scheduled, and with the Director of the Bone Density Center. She had been my first choice but was scheduling in April. She had a cancellation so I grabbed it. I will decide what I am doing after meeting with her.
Regarding supplements, there are very few allowed by my transplant team since most are produced without the regulation and inspections that drugs are subject to.
Thanks for your concern. The article is good. I’ll be curious to hear what the doctor says. Frankly my PCP prescribed the D2 and my confidence in him has gotten very low.
