As we age, our skin becomes less effective at producing this critical vitamin. I am an older person, so I could spend all day in the sun and still not be getting enough D-3.
I take this to supplement my body to make sure I am getting enough D-3. I have read literature that follows a guideline of supplementing with around 2,000 IU after the age of 35 and around 5,000 IU after the age of 50.
I follow this guideline, which is why I take 5,000 IU. There are many manufacturers now that sell D-3, and I am sure…

I follow this guideline, which is why I take 5,000 IU. There are many manufacturers now that sell D-3, and I am sure that many are good. I buy the NOW brand because I trust this company to give me the highest quality for the most reasonable price.
I don’t buy everything from NOW Foods, because I assess each product as to what company I should buy from.
[+] INGREDIENTSActive:- Vitamin D3 as Cholecalciferol from Lanolin (125mg : 5000IU : 625%DV)Other:- Softgel Capsule (bovine gelatin, water, glycerin) and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
[+] WHAT TO EXPECTVitamin D-3 is not a vitamin that will give you an effect for the most part. I have heard about some people who find their skin to become softer or other such mild effects.
But, for the most part, I take D-3 because my body needs it to function properly, not because any symptom I am having. Think of Vitamin D-3 like putting oil in your car.
For the most part, even if your car is low in oil, it runs just fine. That’s why we check it with a dip stick otherwise who would know. But, if you run your car low in oil long enough, then symptoms will appear.
However, then it’s too late. The damage to your car has already been done. That’s how I think about taking D-3.
It’s something that needs to be maintained, but if it’s not, then your body will eventually break down in some way – and as with the car, then its too late.
[+] USAGE/DOSEThe suggested usage (from the label) is to, “Take 1 softgel every 2 days with a fat-containing meal, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.” I take one softgel per day; however, there are days that I skip taking it.
I am not advocating to deviate from the product’s suggested use; I am only conveying what I do. On average, I most likely take this product 4-5 times a week.
If I forget to take this product (along with my multi-vitamin) for more than a couple of days, I usually take two the first day.DISCLAIMER: I am not a physician nor am I dispensing medical advice.

The extra vitamin D is necessary here in Alaska during the long dark winter and working odd hours. My blood tests have always come back with good levels.Also, they’re so tiny!!!
Small gel capsules. Easy to swallow, exactly what I needed. The back of the package says to take once every 2 days.
