Your Needs are Important
Carlson Laboratories is keenly aware of what the health-conscious consumer wants in a nutritional supplement. Although nutritional supplements are chosen primarily for their active ingredients, the other ingredients (excipients) needed to make the tablet, capsule, or liquid are just as important to those concerned about their health. For this reason, excipients are only used in Carlson products when absolutely necessary and in the smallest amounts possible. When they are needed, Carlson’s choice is based on naturalness and purity.

Great price for 10,000 IU pills in such a large size. I have taken Vitamin D3 in higher doses for over a decade and it’s good for my heart, in fact, multiple doctors say the can’t hear my regurgitation anymore, and it helps me stay virus free in the winter. It’s great for mood as well. I love vitamin D3! This is a great brand.

I don’t generally review vitamins or supplements because there is no evidence to prove they work – only the subjective feeling of the reviewer.
However, as luck would have it, I had blood work performed before I started taking the supplement, which should I was deficient, and then again 30 days after taking the supplement. You can see from the attachment that my Vit D levels soared to the high end of the scale after taking this supplement.
It works.

love taking higher doses in less pills. I never go out so I don’t get vit D from sun. 2 of these everyday with Vit k, selenium and magnesium, and i’m feeling great

Ok, so after 3 months of my purchase, I had to come in here to write this review. I have been vitamin D deficient since 2012- and I was tired of taking 1000 all of the time and still being deficient. So I purchased this, and after 3 months of taking it on and off, my blood work came a little over the limit for vitamin d, but it’s great because I’m no longer deficient. I will now be taking it once a week and that should keep me well balanced! I just love how this product did what it was supposed to in just a matter of a few consumptions! I love it and I’m super happy with this purchase! Definitely recommend for anyone who’s vitamin d deficient!

I’ve been taking vitamin D for a long time, back before it was cool. I had problems with tendonitis in my arms from working at the computer all day, so I tried all sorts of supplements. I don’t know if it’d work for everyone, but taking vitamin D takes the pain away with a swiftness, within a day or two. Vitamin D deficiency is very common with modern lifestyles of being indoors all the time, so IMHO everyone should take it.
These pills are small and easy to swallow, they are little gels that slip easily down your throat. It’s a good potency, the RDA for vitamin D is way too low. Those little 500 IU pills don’t do the job.

I love this product and couldn’t recommend it enough!! My absolute favorite thing about it is that cold-pressed olive oil is used as a filler for these softgels. Cold pressed oil is especially good for you and it says A LOT about the company’s standard for quality. I’ve ordered vitamins before that were filled with soybean oil, only to return them due to my soy allergy. In addition, soy is a hormone disruptor and a very cheap filler to use.
I take one softgel(10,000IU) everyday. Living in the midwest, I appreciate having a supplement that is a higher dose!

I ordered these for my 79 year old mother as her vitamin D level was low this winter (we live in Minnesota) and she was experiencing pain in her joints, legs etc… She began taking 1 per day until her vitamin D level was up higher (checked with blood work by Dr.) then she went taking one every other to every 3rd day to keep her level up. Vitamin D is SO important in helping with pain from arthritis and neuropathy! It is VERY important to have blood level checked by Sr. with lab so you don’t take too much as it is hard on the liver!

This product took me from vitamin d deficit to above the max range. When I take this supplement regularly, I can feel a change in my energy level and mood. It’s like a a whole lot of sunshine in a tiny little pill.
Since my numbers are above the end range, I’ve decreased the use of this product. However, I find my energy levels are best on the day’s I take the supplement.
I love this product. The price is right, and the bottle lasts a year (or longer depending on dosage).
You can’t go wrong. Easy to swallow, no stomach irritations……
If you are fair skinned, you may want to decrease usage in summer months. Darker tones, adjust usage according to the time spent outdoors in the sun. (Darker skin absorbs less of the Suns rays and many are deficient in vitamin D)
Another study said vitamin d reduces the risk of respiratory infections. Win,. Win. Win.

I struggle with chronic D deficiency. Two or three times a year I end up on a six week prescription D protocol but since adding these I haven’t needed prescription D. I take one capsule 3 times a week and my D stays where it needs to be.

I have a vitamin D deficiency and needed to find something that had a high dose. Of course I’m also cheap so this is why this product caught my eye. I found out I had a deficiency when I couldn’t get over an upper respiratory infection. My doctor said I would have to take prescription vitamin D if I couldn’t get my levels up on my own. A month later my levels were good again and I haven’t had an upper respiratory infection since last year.
I do find that I have to take them daily in the winter months as opposed to every other day (or less) in the summer. I do agree with other reviewers that say you have to figure out how much your body needs. This is a great product for getting your levels up but not everyone needs the same amount to keep them there.

First off, I know this has been effective, has been the only vitamin d I’ve used for quite some time. However, at a local health fair they had a free vitamin d blood test, which I though was great. Got blood drawn and results sent to me couple days later. 141 ng/mL! So, this is not a knock on the product, it definitely works, but 1/day for me turns out to be too high.

Vitamin D3 is so important especially in areas with little sun. Please get your vitamin D level checked. Best antioxidant and not found in food or lack of sun. I bet if your reading this your low. I take 10,000 iu daily living in my and still only just right my levels. Never get a cold.

I have been taking this for over 5 years. I am not much of an outside person and this helps me maintain better health, especially in the winter as where I live the sun does not shine alot. Always do research your self to be well informed about any supplement you are thinking about taking.
