ForestLeafVitamin D3 5000 IU | VIT D - VIT D3 Vitamin D Supplements for Women and Men | Bone Health, Teeth and Immune Support | Easy to Swallow Pills | One Capsule Daily, 6-Month Supply, 180 Count

I bought this product for my 83 year old Mother. She fell and broke her hip in November 2021, spending 2 months in the hospital and still in physical therapy 3 months after leaving the hospital. She has had low Vitamin D levels for years and has been taking prescription Vitamin D for it. In February 2022 when I took her to an appointment with her rheumatologist, he said he wanted her to switch from prescription vitamin D to Forest Leaf Vitamin D3 50,000 units that can be purchased on Amazon. Not only did he recommend it but he also pulled it up on his laptop and showed the product to me to be sure I purchased the right one. He told me it was just as good as the prescription strength and would cost less than prescription vitamin D. He also said he has been recommending it to his patients because he believes in its purity and it has been working well for his other patients. The capsules are very small making them very easy for my Mother to swallow. My Mother has been taking one capsule weekly for about 2 months now and her Vitamin D levels are in the normal range and I have noticed an improvement in her depression. Her bone fracture has healed and she is regaining muscle strength. We believe this vitamin D3 has helped in this journey.

I didn’t realize this , but I have ordered this product multiple times. Since I travel a lot I have a bottle at home, in my travel bag and my home away from home. Why ??? Because it works and it’s economical. I have been working from home since 2008. I work all day and through the night. I don’t experience daylight some days. I have black out curtains in my home and I have artificial light. I rarely go outside even on weekends because I don’t have to. I had gone to my doctor and they started testing for D3. Well the results came back and I was so severely deficient that it was critical that l get Vit D3. I got these supplements and in 3 months of taking, 1 pill a day, I was more than good to go! I recommend these supplements because they are super easy to swallow and have no aftertaste. And at almost 52 years of age….. I think the D3 is working baby!

Good quality

Review from a health nut friend (I edited), who used my account when she first ordered a few years ago:This is the only product that sells at high dosage in such a small capsule at the best price.It's easily absorbed and tasteless. All my capsules have come intact and I've been ordering for two years.The shipments have been timely.I've noticed an improvement in my health and immunity (have not caught a cold or the flu) since taking these, even though I eat healthy and exercise regularly.I've had shortfalls in my Vitamin D3 levels occasionally in the past, according to my blood tests.I first read about the benefits of high dosage Vitamin D3 from reading self-published books from Amazon.The below authors recommend that you take Vitamin K to ensure that Vitamin D goes into your bones, instead of calcifying your arteries.I take Triple Vitamin K in veg capsule form to cover all the bases, as there's a debate on which form of K is best for Vitamin D (from Amazon: "Vitamin K - Triple Play" by Bronson, 180 vegetarian capsules bottle).Vitamin D is also supposed to help fight colds and viruses.RECOMMENDED DOSAGE:The conventional recommended dosage is anywhere from 2,000 iu to 5,000 iu a day.It's best to take VITAMIN K (Look for the Triple Form) to make sure that Vitamin D goes directly into your bones, and not elsewhere.WARNINGS:You must consult with your physician before taking any supplements, as your individual health needs and medications may contradict taking such high dosage Vitamin D3, along with the below authors' other recommendations on additional supplements to take with high dose D3.Two of the crucial supplements to take are: Magnesium and Potassium, according to the authors, among other recommendations.You should be aware that Magnesium and/or Potassium and cause stomach upset in some people.MAGNESIUM: ALTERNATE METHODS TO TAKE TO BYPASS STOMACH:EPSOM SALTS is said to be an alternate way to avoid ingesting it orally, by soaking in these salts.Another method is skin application by creme.Please search engine the above alternate methods for instructions and efficacy.Since I've haven't tried these methods, I don't know if they may upset the stomach in the end.You MUST monitor yourself with blood tests when taking any megadoses.High Vit D dosages can make your Calcium levels too high, which is dangerous and painful, causing heart rhythm problems.High Vit D doses can also cause electrolyte imbalances.Make sure that all your blood levels are regularly monitored and normal according to your doctor.BOOKS ON AMAZON I READ: On High-Dose Vitamin D3:1.

It definitely is effective in raising vitamin D levels. Mine is too high now-130 ng/ml. 30-80 is best level. Glad I got a blood test.

The pill size is very small, so easy to swallow. We have this once a week, to up our vitamin D levels!

Good product taken one time a week

Fantastic D3+K2 supplement for daily use. No smell or taste; absorbs quickly with a capsule smaller than a penny; making it easy to swallow. Personally, have not experienced any side effects whatsoever but I always take with food for maximum benefits.
