After having beat cancer twice, my doctor suggested I take additional D3 since my body doesnt process things like it used to. Im also immunosuppressed since I lost a kidney 2 years ago due to transitional cell carcinoma.
I was hesitant because I try to take as few medications as I can. If cancer hasnt killed me yet, I dont want the pharmaceutical company to be first.Generally, the extra Vitamin D in a multivitamin is sufficient.
However, if you have bone weakness, bone malformation, or abnormal metabolism of calcium, you should get your levels checked by your doctor.
Furthermore, if you have kidney disease or abnormalities of the enzyme that converts 25-hydroxyvitamin D to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D your doctor probably already has you on extra doses of Vitamin D.By trade I am a practicing ER/Trauma nurse with 20 years experience.
I thought I knew my way around vitamins and minerals. Well, labdoor.com, proved me wrong. They provide excellent info on the supplements that the FDA doesnt regulate.First, and foremost, I wanted the best inert ingredients as well as being cost effective.
Viva uses organic coconut oil and is only 4 cents/capsule for a years worth of supplements. Even with an organic oil there are issues with solidifying, much the same as honey.
After reading the reviews and seeing the pics, I asked the company and they belayed my fears. The efficacy is not affected, they just look a little funky.Its also important to note that any vitamin or mineral supplement must be taken on a full stomach.
They need to bind to something so they can be processed in the colon. A couple spoonfuls of yoghurt doesnt count. Take the after a good meal.All-in-all an excellent product from a top-notch company.
I was very impressed with their lab facilities and how rigorous their lab controls are. Customer service is quick and professional.
Ive been looking for a higher potency D3 supplement as I have MS and it is recommended to take a minimum of 5000ius per day. There are several high potency versions available, but the ingredients list has always concerned me.
So much additional stuff!These are simple, basic, and I know what Im getting. A great option for me.
With majority of people being deficient in vitamin d it’s important to take a supplement in order to keep our levels where they should be which helps us maintain a healthy mind.
With these you only have to take ONE a day instead of 2 or 3 and you get more than your daily value. They’re small making them easy to swallow and don’t appear to have any taste or smell, at least for me.
I learned the hard way how vital Vitamin D3 is to health when I broke my elbow–twice in one year–in the same place. X-Rays revealed I was not healing correctly.
On a hunch, my personal doctor ran some blood tests and discovered that I had a Vitamin D deficiency. I have come to learn this is a far more common occurrence than some people think.
With a blood level of 13 I was far below what my doctor and orthopedic surgeon felt was optimum–which was 50.
The cause of my low level of this necessary nutrient was my over-zealous use of high SPF sunscreen, some as high as SPF110–which, blocks all UVA/UVB rays from entering the skin, and, converting it to Vitamin D.Immediately, I began taking Viva Labs 5,000 IU Vitamin D3 supplements to raise my low levels.
Its best to take it with your biggest meal to be properly absorbed.
It took almost two months, but this dose raised my blood levels of Vitamin D to 41 and 3 months later 55, which is where I plan to keep it.Its important to check with your doctor and have the proper testing to find out what your baseline level is and supplement accordingly.
Vit D can be toxic taken in large doses in pill form because the bodies protective mechanism…
