Doctor'S Best Vitamin D3 5, 000 Iu for Healthy Bones, Teeth, Heart & Immune Support, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Soy Free, 720 Count (Pack of 1)

Not working for me – according to lab results

I have been taking this for over a year, maybe 2 now. My labs keep coming back saying my Vitamin D is super low. Per my doctor's suggestion, I doubled the tablets for the last six months and my labs just came back saying my vitamin D levels have not changed. Does not work for me. Otherwise, the pills are easy to swallow and I've never had any issues with packaging

Appear Identical To Previous Product, But 2X Gel's For About The Same $ = Value

Taking vitamin D3 soft gels have made an improvement in my vitamin D levels as measured by my doctor via blood work. I've had an ongoing problem with low vitamin D3 for decades and was taking another 5000IU gel was keeping me in the middle of the range on my blood tests. These are doing the exact same for me. The gels in this brand look virtually identical to the ones I took before. These D3 soft gels are keeping me at the middle of the range for Vitamin D3 blood level. With these I get about twice the number of gels for about the same price as my previous brand. As far as I can tell they work just the same for me. These small gels are very easy for me to swallow along with my other daily medications and supplements. I don't notice any taste from them. I appreciate the value of getting twice as many for the same price, but best of all they work well for me and I'm very pleased and giving them 5 stars

Take your vitamins

My dad is a cancer survivor and always preaches about the importance of taking vitamins -the right kind of vitamins, right dosage, no GMO, etc. After doing my research and getting his OK for Dr.'s Best Vitamins, I ordered a couple of different ones: Vitamin D3, B12 and B complex) Started taking them couple of days ago. So far so good

Recent studies suggest that 10k IU a day

Recent studies suggest that 10k IU a day is what the average person should be taking to avoid Vitamin D deficiency. That's a lot. Having 5k IU per pill makes this a lot easier than my last bottle of 1k IU pills, and these are just as small as the other ones. I also like that they are oil caps, since vitamin D is an oil soluble vitamin and not water soluble, so you absorb it much better

you need more vitamin D than you realize

It kicks up immune response a notch. Do your own homework on "Vitamin D Hammer". As you increase Vitamin D you also need to increase Vitamin K2 MK7 (the active or transisomer) form, along with 500mg of magnesium for teeth benefits also. Cheaper K2 is not an active form. You don't want that. Cloistering indoors with fear of sickness are the two worst things you can do. You need sunlight and you need not embrace suggested anxieties. These tear down the immune system. You also need free flow of air unobstructed or unhindered. "Magnesium converts vitamin D into its active form so that it can help calcium absorption. Magnesium also stimulates the release of the hormone calcitonin which helps to preserve bone structure returning calcium from blood and soft tissues into the bones for building healthy bone structure. Vitamin K activates calcitonin and matrix Gla protein helping bone mineralization. Vitamin K is like the ignition that turns the machine on that shields the body from excess calcium. Once turned on, matrix Gla protein grabs calcium. The majority of Americans are vitamin K deficient, especially in the menaquinone (K2) variety which is found in foods such as natto (fermented soybeans) that are not eaten regularly in an American diet. Menaquinone-7, or MK-7, is the most biologically active and available form of vitamin K2 and Sports Research is the one I use for the supplementation. As you increase the dose of Vitamin K2 above 100, the activation of calcitonin increases in line with the dosage." Don't let indecision weight heavily on your conscience. Take the leap. Buy now

Fused BLOB

Gel caps were fused together as a blob within the bottle. Upper layer caps could be broken off - lower layers were completely fused and broke open creating a mess. All packaging was otherwise in good condition and not near expiration date - they must have been overheated somewhere. Unfortunately, I had them brought to me in Argentina, return shipping exceeds value, so they're going in the trash..
