I am a physician and am very aggressive in managing vitamin D deficiencies. I’ve yet to check my level on the 5000 unit tablet, but love the small size of the gelcaps and the price cannot be beat! I’m very pleased thus far…

I was concerned about my vitamin D intake seeing as how I don’t get much sun and can’t drink milk. I take 1 pill every other day and have been feeling better so It seems to be working. Now I can avoid the horrible sun altogether, I’d much rather stay inside and rock my joy division records anyway.

Given their strength, I thought these pills would be large, but they’re tiny — only about the size of a pea.

I am so glad to find this strength available on Amazon so affordable. These little tiny perles are so easy to take it’s a pleasure. My doctor told me that for high immunity he would recommend maintaining a blood level of 75-80 ng/mL. After a month on 5000 a day (one perle) he checked my level and it was only 35. He’s having me take 2 a day, 10,000 units, for 3 months and will check again. The correct test is called “25 Hydroxyvitamin D”.

There’s a lot of interesting information on this topic at[...], and they sell a home test.

D-3 Vitamins, Now Foods / B001H1IK26

I started taking these after Prevention magazine reported that people with high vitamin D levels at the start of a diet tend to lose more weight. I realized I should probably be taking them anyway, as I pretty much see no sunlight for large chunks of the day. I love these pills - they're super small and very easy to swallow.
