this would be a excellent product, the problem is you need to be careful with whole food supplements I am fast finding out, I have autoimmune hashimoto disease and found the chlorella in this product can exacerbate my hashimotos, apparently the makers of this product were not aware because no warnings were on the product, unfortunately I ordered their zinc to and took it before realizing chlorella and spirulina were both in that, that is what alerted me, so to say this is only vitamin D 3 supplement is misleading and you need to read every label very carefully. In fairness I should have read the label. I do take vitamin B12 from same company which is excellent and natural

IT WORKS!!!

A blood test revealed that I was still low in Vit D3. I had been taking other Vit D3 products and saw no change. Since I have been using Garden of Eden, which I feel has far superior ingredients, I have been feeling much better, my thyroid is functioning better, and I have noticed my hair is finally getting thicker. I had been dealing with losing hair due to thyroid issues. Vit D3 has an important relationship to the thyroid. A superior product which I will continue to use. I have found no better, including products produced by multi-level companies. Sincerely, Jan Wal

Get you dose of SUNSHINE!

We started taking "pure food" vitamins the first of the year. After doing hours and hours of research I decided we would be doing a lot more for ourselves if we quit taking synthetic/man made vitamins. They are more expensive, yes, but they are derived from food! We love this product and take one each day. We definitely don't eat the way we should so I feel better offering my family vitamins that are "truly" good for you. Because your body needs fat to absorb vitamin D3 we always take them around dinner time. My 12 year old was diagnosed deficient in D. I will post an update when they run her labs again

This D3 Works Better than Most- You Can Actually FEEL the Difference!

This is a very high quality vitamin D supplement. I'm not going to go into all the science that backs up how this product differs from other D3 supplements because there seems to be other reviews that are doing a better job at that than I can. However, what I want to share is my actual experience with this product and explain why I have repetitively purchased it over and over again. It started when my son, who was about 5 at the time, started having boughts of behavior issues as well as some unusual joint pain. I had him tested for lymes disease which came out negative thankfully. The doctor did a run up on blood work to make sure there was nothing of comcern and results showed very low levels of both vitamin D and Zinc. The doctor said it was imperative to get those levels back in the normal range whether or not this was a reason for his medical issues or not because they were abnormally low. At first I began supplementing with a oil based liquid drop and really thought it was great: one quick drop and that's all it took but unfortunately it was not restoring his levels quick enough and his blood work was not showing an improvement even after months of supplementation. After almost an entire year of trying different products, I finally bought this one. He was too young to swallow the pill so I had to mix it in applesauce! He didn't like it but faithfully to it daily and his next lab results FINALLY showed improvement to the level that he no longer needed to take supplements for his vitamin D. Supplementing with this has GREATLY reduced his behavior issues since he no longer has drained D3 levels. He was almost diagnosed with O.C.D and no longer shows those tendancys. I'm not saying this is a treatment for those issues, but if your body is detrimentally low on any required nutrients, you will have issues and symptoms can only be resolved when you bring your levels back into the normal range. I still give it to him to keep his levels up but we are not rigid about it. I myself have also take it, as well as the Garden of Life Zinc that my son takes too. I can say from my own experience with it, I can tell a HUGE difference when I take it regularly versus forget about it for periods of time. I have PCOS and my D levels are typically low due to that. This helps greatly especially with energy and fighting off adrenal fatigue. We live in PA and getting good in vitamin D is very hard about half the year if not more due to weather. I am glad I found this supplement and will continue buying it. I know this one works and don't want to deviate from a trusted quality product that has so dramatically benefitted my son and myself

It really raises levels of Vitamin D

After taking this vitamin D3 and the spray form of D3 by the same brand, my blood exam indicates normal levels of vitamin D. It really works

I'm sold on Garden of Life Vitamin D, Vitamin Code Raw D3

My labs consistently indicated low Vitamin D3 levels and I had been taking a Vitamin D3 supplement for years (NOW brand). I decided to try Garden of Life Vitamin D, Vitamin Code Raw D3, Vitamin D 2,000 IU, Raw Whole Food Vitamin D on the off chance it might work better and had taken it only one month or so before my next labs were drawn and the levels had already gone up into the acceptable range. It costs much more but I will stick with it

Vitamins need to be real food, not rocks

I'm pretty dubious about vitamins in general but my Dr. really wanted my D levels up. I think that most vitamins are a scam so if I HAVE to use a vitamin, I make sure I buy one that is actually made from FOOD, not little rocks. All I can say is that my Vitamin D levels were terrible and now that I take these they are excellent. So if a skeptic can tell you about those kind of results, probably a good product

Great! I got my D3 level up from less than 15 to over 50. It works. I recommend it to all my friends and family. So important to supplement with a good D3

Does the job

I monitor my Vitamin D3 levels quarterly via blood testing. Initially, I was deficient in D3 and started taking 5,000 IUs daily. After two quarters, my D3 levels were up to their optimal range. After that, I no longer needed to take 5,000 IUs daily and switched to this Garden of Life 2,000 IU. After a few weeks of taking it daily, I retested my D3 levels and they were still in the optimal range. For that reason, I have to highly recommend this product. Pros -Easy to swallow -Kept my D3 level in the optimal range -Powder pill capsule (not liquid...this is a bonus for me as liquid capsules tend to leak after a while) -Raw and easy on the stomach Cons -Kinda pricey, but worth it..so not really a con at all :

Love it!

Vitamin D changed my life! I went to the Doctor to get tested for arthritis because my bones ached so badly. I was to a point where I would lay on the floor in so much pain that I wished I would just die. I didn't think it was arthritis because it wasn't my joints, it literally felt like my bones hurt, including my scull (not your typical headache). Anyway, long story short I found out I was EXTREMELY vitamin D deficient. I have felt so much better since taking this supplement and love that it is so natural
