(More customer reviews)This Now formulation of higher-dose Vitamin D3 2000iu has been available recently for $3.99 which is the best price on the Internet. It is a small pill, easy to swallow. I buy this vitamin for my family, for coworkers and for homeless I help through my church. I encourage individuals to take it who have auto-immune diseases such high blood pressure, diabetes type 2, rheumatoid arthritis, COPD, congestive heart failure, tendinitis, gum disease, and, problems with infections, boils, etc. When they take it every day, their symptoms dramatically subside, and they generally become much more healthy. It is important to maintain adequate calcium, magnesium and zinc levels and you can buy a separate supplement that contains all three. I personally take 4,000 iu Vitamin D3 and only a third of my daily minimums in calcium, magnesium and zinc since I get most of these minerals from a healthy diet (whole grain, lots of greens, beans). Although the FDA some years ago set the high safe dose at 2,000 iu per day, most if not all recent research suggests that 4,000 iu of Vitamin D3 daily is completely safe. Not only that, many researchers believe 4,000 iu should be the RDA (recommended daily allowance) for adults for Vitamin D3 because the body actually uses this much if it's available. Many researchers feel children over two years can take 2,000 iu. Infants often need Vitamin D3 also. Nearly every cell in your body requires Vitamin D to differentiate into an adult cell. After taking Vitamin D3 at higher doses (2,000 to 4,000 iu) for three months you can get a 25(OH)D blood test to determine how close your blood levels are to the target level of 50-70 nanograms/milliliter. Based on that you can raise or lower your dose. Dark-skinned individuals and the elderly and obese may need to take higher doses to achieve that level. There is an excellent site on Vitamin D3 named WWW.VitaminDcouncil.org run by Dr. John Cannell, MD. It's a dependable source of information. Look at his page on "deficiency" to get a handle on dosage and testing.
