Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)(Note-I am NOT a doctor) but, from what I've read, the statistics are showing that about 85% of us are D deficient, even if we take multivitamins, spend time in the sun, and eat D-fortified foods. Apparently, D has been researched in detail in the last 20 years, but few doctors really get into the possibility of D deficiency.
A friend who researches vitamins, minerals and herbs a lot told me to take the 2000 IU Carlson D3 about a year ago and it continues to be part of my daily vitamin routine. Carlson appears to be a respected name and he claimed the D3 is the one that is properly absorbed by the body (as opposed to plain Vitamin D.)
As we speak, I am reading a wonderful book all about vitamin D. It is called "The Power of Vitamin D" by Sarfraz Zaidl, MD. Doctor Zaidl is an Endocrinologist who has monitored Vitamin D and its effects in his patients for the last 10 years in California. If you are interested in reading more about the possible relationship of Vitamin D to your health, I highly recommend this book. I will be posting a review on it very soon.
Back to Carlson D3, the book above from 2010 says that the current reported RDA (recommended amount) is way too low at about 200, 400, or 600 IU (per day), depending on your age. It sounds like it averages out at more like 2000 IU, but everything that says "includes 100% of your RDA of Vitamin D" is based on the 200/400/600 old RDA. Carlson also makes the D3 available in soft gel, and I believe that liquids and gels are absorbed easier by the body than hard pills and powdered capsules. This bottle contains 120 of the 2000 IU, so, at one tablet per day, a bottle will last you about 4 months.
I highly recommend the book and the D3, as stated. BUT, as I tell people, don't take my word for it. If you are going to take vitamins and supplements, READ and make your own educated decisions.
The book mentions potential benefits of D regarding a whole mess of conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, fibromyalgia, arthritis, lupus, osteoporosis, and many others.
