NOW Supplements, Vitamin D-3 5,000 IU, High Potency, Structural Support*, 120 Softgels

The good thing about this product is, its easy to swallow. It has 5K IU D3, and if you take 2 capsules a day for 5 days then youd be taking 50k IU in a week, which is sufficient if you are Vit D deficient. But dont take it for the long term. Consult with PCP

No issues

I didnt know brand mattered with supplements, but it really does. I was taking some unknown brand of vitamin D (5000 units) and my yearly bloodwork still came back insufficient. So I did the research I should have done the first time and came upon NOW brand. After taking the 5000u pills every day for about two months, my recheck bloodwork is now well within normal range for Vitamin D! I learned my lesson, no more shady supplement brands ever again.

Ive tried several different brands. This is the first time my blood test came back with an acceptable vitamin D level. Well actually, my doctor put me on a slow release 50,000 IU vitamin D that I took just once a week and it took me too high. Since I was worried about vitamin D overdose, I switched to 5000 IU daily which seems to be perfect if it is this brand. So my husband started to take these too and although it took him a bit longer (not having taking the high hit slow release), he has now reached optimum vitamin D levels too. Ive learned the hard way to take only all natural vitamins and that it is important to stick to really good brands. I think this company usually satisfies those demands.

Good

Exactly as advertised

Great vitamin

After having blood work done I found out that me Vit. D3 level was quite low. I searched for a reputable Vitamin Company that made D3 5000 Iu at a reasonable price, as the doctor prescribed. NOW was the only company that satisfied this and Amazon price was the lowest It is a very small gel pill, easy to swallow. After 6 weeks blood test was redone and my blood level was normal. I was told by my doctor to continue taking this since I have a sun allergy and D3 is essential.

This is on my list for a repeat buy. It does the trick. Great buy for a great price!

No unpleasant taste. Easy to swallow. Great for all us northerners : )
