Solgar Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 10,000IU 120 Softgel

Solgar is a recognized name in the industry. Vitamin D is reported to have many health benefits. Your qualified medical practitioner can order a blood test to test for deficiency. As it is a fat soluble vitamin it IS possible to get too much Vitamin D, but this is not likely unless one takes more than one of these per day (Always follow your qualified practitioners advice). Vitamin D4 is available by prescription only, so Rx Vitamin D is not the same as OTC Vitamin D--They are similar but not exactly the same. I encourage you to ask your qualified practitioner to run various tests, but if a Vitamin D deficiency is noted then follow their directions to correct it. I trust that the Solgar brand is probably one of the better ones, and I have had no issues with these capsules. Amazon shipped them fast, without hassle, and at a fair price. I chose brand primarily based on other's reviews, and that is, at least in part, how I came up with the five star rating.It is worth noting that those in higher latitudes are more likely to be deficient in Vitamin D, and one study I read seemed to imply that more people might be deficient than are treated? Definitely one of those Vitamins on which to perform further research. The studies are simply lacking as this is not something that the big pharma companies can make any money off of.

I know I certainly did. Being a student, I spend most of my time indoors either attending class or studying at the library. I was totally unaware of how the lack of exposure to sun was damaging me. I felt achy and sluggishly tired at all times. completing the simplest tasks felt like it took all of me and every moment of every day I felt utterly drained. I went to the doctor and they told me I was severely VD deficient. at first I was taking a supplement from metagenics that cost twice as much as this product. Even though it worked well, it would sometimes give me gas and I felt like the dosage was too low. so I upped mine to 10,000 and now i feel like a new woman! I go the whole day without taking naps (which is a huge difference for me) and I feel energized and rejuvenated. There's also been an improvement in my mood and an increased feeling of positivity. Plus, even though the dosage is double that of the metagenics brand, I never have any stomach issues at all. Buy this you won't regret it!

I have had a chronic problem with low vitamin D levels. After a couple of years on the 50k IU a week time release prescription they have hit the appropriate level and I am trying to maintain the level without the prescription. I bought some other brands and had issues, with the honor system in supplements they probably didn't contain what was on the label. This brand is great at 10k IU I take 2-3 a week and have no issues with negative effects and my levels are staying stable. High quality product, I recommend it for anyone experiencing low levels of vitamin D. Low vitamin D has been associated with a string of health issues from obesity and fatigue to cancer. If you have had a diagnoses of low D I recommend you pick up The Vitamin D Solution by Michael Holick, it is amazing how critical this vitamin is to good health. I took the deficiency much more seriously after reading the book.

I've been taking this supplement since late 2021 and it seemed fine at first. However, I started having symptoms such as brain fog, muscle weakness/tiredness, urinating frequently, chest pains/pressure, headaches, sleeplessness, and just not feeling normal at all. I started reading about vitamin D toxicity and immediately stopped taking this very high dosage. Shortly after I stopped taking this, my symptoms are almost completely gone and I feel like I woke up from a 2 year sleep walk. I think this supplement is high quality and good under the proper circumstances, but the recommended dose of vitamin D for an adult is only 800 IU and the upper limit is 4,000 IU. I would suggest that everyone make sure that you need this high dosage before starting on it because it can lead to very dangerous conditions like hypercalcemia in the blood and potentially kidney failure/disease. I'm only posting this to inform and I hope this can help someone who might have made the same mistake that I did.

Preface:I have multiple food and chemical allergies so I had to be very selective when choosing which supplements to buy. I have a terrible immune system right now and needed to start taking supplements since my diet is basically nonexistent due to the severity of my intestinal health.I had these softgels for about a month without having taken them due to being too scared to try something new which could potentially put me in the hospital or worse.Almost a week ago my health got so bad I had no choice but to TRY the supplements I had (these 10,000 IU Vit D3 by Solgar. So in the morning after I had an awful night and was not getting any better I popped one of these softgels with a lot of water. I had no noticeable bad reaction even after multiple hours of waiting it out. In fact I felt much better!So by the advice of my allergist I am taking two softgels per day, as he said 20,000 IU would be very beneficial for me since my Vitamin D3 levels were extremely low.I also started drinking pre-bottled Kombucha daily in the middle of the day (between the Vit D doses) and honestly I am doing really well considering how bad I was nearly a week ago. I know my allergist wanted me to try fermented foods but since I can't have dairy at all or any ingredient made from dairy kefir and yogurt was out, so was anything made with regular white distilled vinegar because I am THAT allergic to gluten that even the barely-there trace amounts left in it cause me major health problems.So long story short, these Vitamin D3 softgels are awesome! They have very few ingredients, and none of which I react badly to. Thanks, Solgar and Amazon!

Timely delivery and in great condition.
