We conducted a thorough investigation into whether high-dose intermittent vitamin D3 could alleviate symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and improve vascular health. This double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial involved patients meeting established criteria for CFS. Participants received either 100,000 units of vitamin D3 or a placebo every two months for six months.
Over the course of the study, we measured key outcomes such as arterial stiffness, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and fatigue levels through various tests. Surprisingly, our findings showed that vitamin D3 treatment did not lead to any significant improvements in these areas. We observed only a slight increase in vitamin D levels in the treatment group, but this did not translate into better vascular health or reduced fatigue.
In conclusion, we honestly found that high-dose vitamin D3 did not offer any notable benefits for patients struggling with chronic fatigue syndrome. This study highlights the complexities of treating CFS and suggests that vitamin D3 may not be the solution some had hoped for.

Beta-glucan shows cognitive improvements
We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to explore how yeast beta-glucan, along with multivitamins, affects individuals suffering from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). In our study, 65 participants received either beta-glucan combined with vitamins and zinc or a placebo for 36 weeks.
Interestingly, while our primary focus was on beta-glucan, which was shown to significantly improve cognitive fatigue, the role of vitamin D3 within this combination was not clearly established. This makes it challenging to directly assess the impact of vitamin D3 alone on chronic fatigue syndrome outcomes.
Overall, we discovered that beta-glucan supplementation could positively influence cognitive fatigue, offering promise for future research on nutritional support in ME/CFS patients. However, definitive conclusions about vitamin D3's effectiveness remain inconclusive due to the combined nature of the treatment.

Fatigue resolved

It works! After 8 months of constant fatigue, lethargy, and apathy, I couldn't even enjoy a holiday. Following a friend's advice to check my vitamin D, I discovered I had a deficiency. After taking this product for 2 weeks, all my fatigue disappeared, and I can now truly enjoy life again. I highly recommend it!

Positive effects noted

The feeling of constant fatigue has diminished since I started taking these vitamins a month ago. I believe there is a positive trend. Prior to my tests, my vitamin D level was 15. The fatigue seems to be lifting.

Boost in energy

Important!!! Why the addition of vitamin K? An endocrinologist advised taking vitamin D with K. For ages, I sought this dosage of 5,000 with vitamin K and found it with this manufacturer. Overall, I am satisfied with the quality. The small capsules are easy to swallow and have no side effects. I advise taking them in the morning with breakfast. After taking one capsule, I feel well, experience more energy, and notice a reduction in fatigue.

Less lethargy
The doctor prescribed two pills daily, which the bank provided quickly. After repeated tests over several months, my vitamin D level improved significantly. There was previously fatigue and lethargy during the day, but it is now easier to wake up without feeling heavy. However, the positive effects seemed to diminish, suggesting a longer intake may be needed.
