Nature's WayVitamin D, 240 sgels 5000 IU

Recommended

I previously gave this one star …I have used this Vitamin D3 product for many months and it was just fine. My last order .. smelled bad!! There was no return or exchange option.. thus the one star. However this was made right so I would probably order this in the future …

A note to all, 5000IU is a pretty high dosage (Daily recommended is 600IU I think). After blood tests showed me low D levels, got these and feel perkier for sure...more like normal self. I actually had low B D and T. All are connected and my dad had same issue years ago. B supplements with the D helped boost the T as well.I tried several levels of D at first. Went as high as 15,000IU for a week and that was bad, felt awful after a few days (sluggish, foggy). Stopped for a week and went back to normal, then back to the 5000 which works fine for me. So yes I'm proof you can take too much. These are small little gels, and they can stick together, so make sure you see how many you are taking.

A friend of mine was just diagnosed with cancer, and had been recommending vit. D to all of us. I'd already been taking it, and at 2000 a day, I still tested low, so I decided to try a higher dosage. I've heard that you can up to 10,000 in just twenty minutes of noon time sun, so maybe the 400 recommended by doctors, is too low, at least for those of us who live in the great northwest, who don't see the sun for months at a time.Nature's Way is fairly priced, and the gels are easy to take, so why not? I rarely get the flu and have never had a flu shot, so maybe it's working.

If you look at the photos I uploaded you can see this has a new label (photo 1) which matches their website (photo 2) and now uses recycled plastic (photo 3) and is bottled in the usa (photo 3).1. Vitamin D is recommended for EVERY ADULT in the US.2. Easy to swallow and very small.3. Not crazy about the added safflower oil. :(
