Vitamin D Liquid - Vitamin D Supplement - Supports Healthy Bones and Muscles, Cardiovascular Health & Immune Function* - 1 Fl Oz (30 ml) - 600 Servings

These 500 IU Vitamin D Drops are, in my opinion, a very safe and easy way to supplement Vitamin D, an essential nutrient. The older you are, the more important Vitamin D supplementation can be, as it has some hormonal effects and is important for bone, skin, and eye health. It can also boost mood and has some powerful immune system effects. Daily requirements are very controversial, and, in my opinion, very dependent on your genetics; I suggest you research this thoroughly for yourself before supplementing, and, if you choose, work closely with a trusted health professional. I think it's also VITALLY IMPORTANT to concurrently supplement with Vitamin K2 (like this soy-free version: NOW Foods Vitamin K-2,100mcg, 100 Vcaps ). Simultaneous Vitamin K supplementation is important, long-term, to prevent calcification and atherosclerosis (PLEASE research this for yourself; Google can help). K2 is also an excellent bone-builder in its own right. Personally, I supplement with somewhat high levels of D and have my blood tested every 6 months to keep it at 70 or so. Amazon even sells mail-in Vitamin D blood spot test kits Vitamin D Test , so you can easily & safely do this without a visit to a lab, if you choose. The flavor of these drops is just fine; it's in a coconut oil base, easy to take sublingually (under the tongue) for fastest action. Highly recommended for its quality & effectiveness! ---- Have a question about this supplement? Just leave a comment & I'll be happy to help you, if I can. --- UPDATE 3/2/16: Responded to a question & thought I'd post the answer w/i the review, just FYI: Q: How much do you take daily? A. My intake varies, depending on how much sun exposure I get in a day (I spend time outside, whenever I can). i take 1 NOW Foods Vitamin K-2,100mcg, 100 Vcaps and 6000 iu (12 drops of this 500 iu Thorne D3) daily, on average. In winter, I double that. For my age (over 40) and gender (female), that seems to work very well at keeping me at my goal of 70. I actually bought this lower-dose 500iu for my hubby (who needs less), but simply take more drops myself to get what I need, just to simplify our supplements. Dosages are SO individualized & really depend quite a bit on your genetics and the general state of your health. I had my gene print "read" at 23andme & some analysis through promethease definitely showed that I have a genetic proclivity toward a greater-than-average need for Vitamin D. My best advice is to get your bloodwork done FIRST, then get medical advice as to a starting dosage to raise your levels. Hope that helps!

Completely flavorless and easy to take (I'm autistic and struggle with flavors). Low dose and easy to cut dose in half for sensitive individuals

I’ve been buying this THORNE Vitamin D Liquid for my daughter, and it’s been an absolute lifesaver. She can’t tolerate vitamin D3 combined with K2, so finding this pure Vitamin D formula has been perfect for her. We actually buy K2 separately, so she can adjust her dose to exactly what she needs without any issues. The liquid form makes it super easy to give her the right amount, and the dropper is perfect for precise dosing. Since switching to this, her energy levels have been better, and I’ve noticed her immune system seems much stronger. What I really love is that I can control both her Vitamin D and K2 intake separately, which gives us a lot more flexibility and avoids any digestive discomfort she was having with other combined supplements. I’ve been buying this for her regularly now, and it’s working great. If you’re looking for a high-quality, pure Vitamin D supplement without K2, I highly recommend this one—it’s made a huge difference for her!

The only thing I struggle with is the dropper. Otherwise excellent product

My naturopath recommended this supplement for me and it’s the only brand she trusts. I know that she’s done her research so it is a high quality supplement that has a high bio-availability and my body absorbs it better than other supplement brands. It is more expensive because of the quality, so it may not last as long as other brands but it’s more potent so that kinda balances out the price. The dropper isn’t my favorite, but that might be a personal choice.

Item as described and exactly what I wanted.

I take a lot of supplements in powder, capsule and liquid form, and those of us who do that know that it can be time consuming. I rarely if ever leave bad reviews but I just don’t have 20 seconds to hold a vitamin D dropper over my mouth to get the amount I need. It’s quality stuff but the usability is not for me and I wish I knew this before purchasing.

The best I've found gets into your system fast
