You can get 30 50 mg tables for less than $30 bucks using a Goodrx coupon.

Since people take this at anywhere from 1 to 4.5 mg a day it is dirt cheap. So compounding makes it more expensive but better ability to get consistent dosing than trying to chop it up like I do.

Figuring out what works for a particular person is a challenge and takes a lot of trial and error.

I hate the Reddit website. It is not user friendly to me. But there is a lot of LDN discussion on their site.

Sunshine is fine for getting free Vitamin D as it is formed in oil on the skin and then absorbed into the body over several hours. However there can be problems. My son, living and working in Puerto Rico with his construction business was discovered to be D deficient. He was taking a shower every day after work. I suggested he take his shower in the morning and then rub an oil containing cream on his arms, face and other exposed area of his body. Then when coming home, if possible wait a few hours if possible and only take a quick water ONLY shower to get rid of sweat but not body oils. Blot with towel or air dry so as not to remove oils with Vitamin D in them. Give the D time to absorb.

Years ago I read something about psoriasis in one of Adele Davis’s, perhaps in Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit, or Let’s Get Well. Her paperbacks can still be found on Ebay or elsewhere on line. At any rate, if I remember rightly, there was something about oily foods like Mayonaise or salad dressings, and deficiencies caused by not consuming them. I suppose olive oil would be good, but try to get her books, they are life savers!
