I have begun to maintain for myself an online google spreadsheet that contains lists of Track Your Plaque related supplements and how much they cost to purchase at various online sources.
Here’s the link to the latest version of my TYP_Supplement spreadsheet.
The objective here is to try to get a handle on supplement quality and price over time. No single supplement is especially expensive, but the cost can add up depending on what you’re taking.
I expect that getting this spreadsheet filled out completely will take awhile.
Meanwhile, it contains sources and prices for Arginine, Carnitine, Vitamin D, Slo Niacin, and CoQ10.
If you see any issues with it, give me a holler.

The LEF D3 you are listing is powder, not gelcap. Since Dr. Davis strongly believes that the powder form of D3 is pretty much worthless, you might consider removing it - wouldn’t want someone to opt for a product that doesn’t work well.
I use Carlson 2000 IU gelcaps from VitaminLife.com (which I find has pretty good prices). The link is here:

Inexpensive and effective. Raised my 25 OHd3 from 24 to 53 (4000 IU/day).

Warren,
You’re right.
I had bought 4 of those Vitamin D bottles from LEF without looking closely at whether they were softgels or not myself. I liked them just because they came in 5000 IUs.
Then after receiving them, I realized they were in the wrong form.
I never did get around to removing them from the TYP supplement spreadsheet.
Will do it right NOW!
Thanks for the reminder.

[…] done. Second, the relative cost of the Niacin instant release capsule is significantly less per my TYP Supplement spreadsheet. So, I splurged and bought myself some better tasting arginine with the expected savings last […]

what about the negative study on l-arginine after MI in JAMA Jan 2006?
