Nature Made Maximum Strength Vitamin D3 10000 IU (250 mcg), Dietary Supplement for Bone, Teeth, Muscle and Immune Health Support, 60 Softgels, 60 Day Supply

Maximum Potency

This is more or less a maximum dose of Vitamin D3. There's no need for me to extol the virtues of Dâ€"immunity, bone, muscle, cardiac health. I really do believe it boosts immunity and helps to stave off certain diseases. Where I live, a lot of us need to take a Vitamin D supplementâ€"especially in the winter season, where hours of sunlight per day are minimal. Also, certain illnesses and stresses can drain your D levels. This dosage is helpful for those instances. But, imo, it's also a good “booster” to take this dosage every once in a while. I truly credit a good level of vitamin D for extra immunity in times like these. Nature Made products are made in the US, and I have been taking their vitamins and supplements for years. I trust them for purity, assured dosage, and for not adding anything artificial. My approach to this is to take the larger dosage every once in a while, and taking a dose of their D3 (1,000â€"2,000 IU) daily

Small & Easy

Everyone hates taking pills, but it's a necessary evil. Having the pills as small as possible and with a gel capsule usually makes it easier. These pills are incredibly small and easy to swallow. I almost don't notice eating it at all. Vitamin D is incredibly important. Because I am disabled, I tend to have very low vitamin D levels. It wavers around deficient to borderline deficient. I'm mostly in my home all day. Since Covid-19, others have been stuck in their homes like me. In fact, most people in the world are vitamin D deficient, even before Covid, they just don't know it. The 10,000 IU is a short course, used for a few weeks until you can get your vitamin D levels to the appropriate levels, then you swap to a lower dosage like 1000 IU for maintenance. But don't worry. you can't overdose on vitamin D, but get a blood test just to confirm your levels, especially if you're not getting sun for about 30 minutes to an hour a day

Convenient HIGH dosage gel based pill with reasonable pricing

Don't be mistaken, this is a HIGH DOSE (250mcg) per pill which is equivalent to 1250% of daily value. Without any scientific method to measure how much is contained in a pill we have to trust what is stated on the package. Nature Made is a reputable brand for supplements so there is not much to worry here. The real question is how much do you really need and if you need so much more than dosage of daily value? In terms of value, you really get back what you paid for. If you calculate the cost per mcg, it's about the same as the low dosage vitamin D3 pills. The biggest advantage for this particular product is convenience. If you need to take 250mcg D3 per day, you can take just one pill of this, or multiple pills of lower dosage ones. Just a illustration, I have been taking some generic D3 pills (50mcg), but 1 pill of this D3 from Natural made is equal to 5 pills of the normal 50 mcg! This is definitely convenient and good for those who don't like to swallow many pills. The size of the pill is considered small and swallowing is not a problem. However, I still feel perhaps a 125mcg per pill is a more flexible dosage amount. Nature Made also sells the 125mcg pills version. I think that 125mcg pill strikes a better balance between dosage flexibility and convenience. Overall this is still a great product

Finally A Hard to Find 10,000 IU dosage!.

My doctor said I was low on Vitamin D so I took the highest dose I could find in the store at 5000IU. Even after taking that dose regularly, the doctor said I was still low. I had a hard time finding a 10,000 IU single capsule dosage and was so happy to find the Nature Made Maximum Strength Vitamin D3 10000 IU. On my next visit after taking daily 10,000 IU along with whatever comes in a multivitamin, my vitamin D levels are now at a good level. The capsules are small and smooth and easy to take with other pills all at once

Close to Prescription Vitamin D

This is close in dosage to prescription Vitamin D in effectiveness. I was using it everyday, but after three days I changed to one dosage every other day. Two weeks in, I changed it to once a week. It is very effective

Very expensive specialty supplement

Nature Made's 10000 IU Vitamin D3 is really only something you should be taking on direct orders of a physician after labs. 4 stars. I give Nature Made credit here for marking the label 'short term therapy for diagnosed Vitamin D deficiency' since that's exactly what it is indicated for. There are some upper limits to Vitamin D supplementation and 10000 IU is going to get almost everyone close to or over them; you need blood work to check your levels first, and if your doctor agrees, that's when you should take this until they normalize. I won't go into the lab ranges and dangers here, but this is NOT a supplement you should be taking in this quantity otherwise. The other reason this is 4 stars is there is plenty of cheaper Vitamin D in lower quantities at 80% lower prices that you can simply take several pills of rather than a single pill here. Not something you want to mess around with, and not something you generally need, but for certain individuals it may be indicated. 4 stars

Works great for me

I usually end up having to get a prescription for vitamin d from my dr. I unfortunately live somewhere cold and cloudy 80% of the yr so I tend not to get enough vitamin d. These have saved me and I notice a mood improvement upon taking them consistently. I just overall feel better. I take other vitamins and supplements from this same brand and they have never let me down. They've always done for me what they are supposed to do
