You probably already know all this, but in case it would be helpful to others: Your doctor should also be able to write you a prescription for whatever vitamins you're taking, from what I understand the ones you get from behind the pharmacy counter are actually what they say they are.

I have low vitamin D, and when it was atrociously low (#1 lowest my dr had ever seen! ๐Ÿฅด) I got an actual prescription for it.

YMMV on whether insurance puts up a fight about paying for it, if applicable. If not and you have to stick to OTC I try to get stuff with the USP verified label on it.

Yeah true, but last time I went to the doctor they charged me $200 for just the office visit, so it's not really sustainable for me
