Is one brand of Vitamin D better than another? I don't really believe that's true, but I do believe Metagenics is one of the top neutraceutical companies in America. Men check the HDL result from your lipid panel. If the result is greater than 49 you can reduce the risk of heart attack by raising HDL with vitamin D3. Higher HDL stabilizes the arterial plaque that prevents the rupture that causes the clot that causes the heart attack. Vitamin D levels are low in practically everyone who is not supplementing with Vitamin D3. Even at 10,000iu daily it takes at least 6 months to get Vitamin D levels greater than 75. With vitamin D levels greater than 75 HDL levels will start to climb, not quickly, but steadily, at a rate of about 1 point per month. It doesn't sound like much, but six months later the HDL has risen 6 points and risk of a heart attack has fallen! Other points: a few people cannot handle 10,000iu daily. The symptoms are stomach issues. This strategy will not work for you. Next, Vitamin D levels rise gradually, but if doses are missed, the levels plummet like a stone! HDL under 40, this strategy will not work for you. HDL levels 40-49 is a gray area. The outcome is unpredictable. Taking less than 10,000iu daily is unlikely to raise Vitamin D levels high enough to raise HDL. Will vitamin D levels exceed the maximum serum range of 100? For some the answer is yes, but they have no side effects, and they seem to level off just over 100. Other benefits of vitamin D: high levels strengthen the skeleton preventing osteoporosis and osteopenia. High vitamin D doses are a good treatment for osteoporosis and osteopenia. Lastly, Vitamin D is a strong antioxidant. It helps prevent cancer and helps the body fight cancer. Women benefit from lower heart attack risks the same as men, but studies have shown that from age 35-60 heart attacks are primarily a male condition. Women join men at age 60 and from then on die from heart attack at the same rate as men. Heart attack is the leading cause of death in America for men starting at age 35 and for women starting at age 60. I am Dr. Morgan. I am in private general practice in Pleasanton, CA and if you can't tell, I am passionate about preventing heart attacks with Vitamin D3 for the last 4 years.

Good quality product - important for us "older" folks that need this supplement!

A good reliable product. I my blood work showed a Vitamin D deficiency. This along with improved diet corrected it by the next blood test.
