NOW Supplements, Vitamin D-3 5,000 IU, High Potency, Structural Support*, 120 Softgels

I was taking this for weeks alongside some other supplements. Then I noticed I started having heart spasm or palpitation, it started with one sudden flutter in between my chest leaning towards the right side a day, then 2 and then it was becoming more that I decided not to count anymore so I wont be freaking out. I have been having migraine, nauseating, dizziness, cramps, weak bones and I have visited the hospital severally with all lab works and scans showing I am healthy. I was on implanon so I had that removed, stock up on Vit D, K, C, B2 (I use this on my migraine days), calcium, magnesium and alive women multi hoping to get my system back to normal only to compound it with the heart flutters. I thought maybe my health is just deteriorating or I must be doing something wrong. Stopped all my supplements for a day, went back to taking C the next day then added the calcium cum magnesium and later the multi. Its been a week now and I have not had the flutters. However, I am putting it down to the D because I started taking the K before D and no such thing happened then, somewhere on the Web also buttress my suspicions about high amount of D and to think this is the synthetic form even makes it worse. I hope this helps someone who might have not figured out yet

Been buying them for at least 5years , my blood work is always good on my vitamin D they work !!!!

And I think this means supplementing with vitamin D works. Ive used other brands that probably helped. The only thing I dont like about this product is that you have to take 1 pill every 2 days. I find that annoying since its easier to keep track of taking 1 pill a day. Next time I wont buy the 5,000 IU. Will stick to lower dosages that can be taken daily. While vitamin D toxicity is rare and requires much higher doses than 5,000 IU (I think it happens from the 40,000 IU!), but it could cause serious side effects if youre unlucky.

Not all vitamins are equal. I know I received what I needed from this product, because when the Dr told me I was depleted of D I asked how I would know if I was taking a good vitamin D or not. He told me the only way was try one and then get a blood test. Not to assume this product was doing the job, I got a blood test after a period of time and and my level of D was back where It needed to be and has stayed there. Good product, good job.

I’ve been using this brand Vitamin D for about a month. I get blood work done every 6 months and prior to taking this my levels were at 44 (forget the unit it’s measured in) and on my last labs it was down to 33. I take 5,000 IU/ day on an empty stomach. I’ll be tossing the rest of these and using a different brand! My doctor recommended the “biotech” brand. Not happy with these labs and “Now”, they don’t absorb well. No better test than lab results…

The good thing about this product is, its easy to swallow. It has 5K IU D3, and if you take 2 capsules a day for 5 days then youd be taking 50k IU in a week, which is sufficient if you are Vit D deficient. But dont take it for the long term. Consult with PCP

I like it and its cheaper on Amazon than in the store.

This essential nutrient plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bones and supporting immune function. With the convenience of a supplement, Vitamin D3 ensures that you meet your daily requirements even when sunlight exposure is limited. The high-quality formulation and easy-to-swallow capsules make it a must-have addition to your every day routine.

After having blood work done I found out that me Vit. D3 level was quite low. I searched for a reputable Vitamin Company that made D3 5000 Iu at a reasonable price, as the doctor prescribed. NOW was the only company that satisfied this and Amazon price was the lowest It is a very small gel pill, easy to swallow. After 6 weeks blood test was redone and my blood level was normal. I was told by my doctor to continue taking this since I have a sun allergy and D3 is essential.

THE PRODUCT IS FINE, I HAVE USED IT FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND I FIND IT TO BE VERY GOOD. THERE IS A PROBLEM IN GETTING IT. I ORDERED IT , THEY SENT THE WRONG PRODUCT, THEN THEY SENT ME ONLY ONE BOTTLE OF D-3 I HAD TO E MAIL THEM , THEN THEY SENT ONE MORE AND I HAD TO E MAIL THEM AGAIN AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY LAST BOTTLE. I HAVE AT THIS POINT AUGUST 3 2010 NOT HEARD ANYMORE FROM THE COMPANY. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR WEEKS NOW. SO THE PRODUCT ITSELF IS FINE, GOOD LUCK ON GETTING IT. IN ALL FAIRNESS THOUGH THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM.
