These gelcaps are great!, Eric J. Bush
November, 2009, amazon.com

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...

Great Value, Ana Mardoll

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.

nice product for the price, C. Haurd

vitamin is important for everyone but especially woman. This is a great way to help make sure you are absorbing calcium. I ususally dont like buying from this manufacturer but they do have a couple of things I trust.

Studies have shown Vitamin D to be the best prevention of influenza / Swine Flu and a natural immune booster

Studies (by Vitamin D Council) have shown that those with higher Vitamin D blood levels are less likely to contract the typical avian influenza most of us are familiar with.

This is why most get the flu in the winter and spring, when sunlight and blood Vitamin D levels are at their lowest, results may be similar for the swine flu.

NOW Vitamin D softgels supply this key vitamin in a highly-absorbable liquid softgel form. Vitamin D is normally obtained from the diet or produced by the skin from the ultra-violet energy of the sun. However, it is not abundant in food.

As more people avoid sun exposure, Vitamin D supplementation becomes even more necessary to ensure that your body receives an adequate supply.
