My wife and I have used Sports Research Vitamin D3 with/ Coconut MCT Oil for several years. I believe the product is superior to other brands because it uses coconut oil instead of rice, palm oil, or other ingredients. I supplement with 10,000 units a day and have given excellent results, maintaining a healthy Vitamin D level on my labs. This is a great product, and I highly recommend the Sports Research brand Vitamin D3.

I really prefer the packaging of Sports Research products. Easy to open. Nice quality. No fussy pill tops. The pop top is where its at. These pills are small and easy to swallow. Great benefit for the combination .

It arrived sooner than anticipated

For me this brand of vitamin D3 is the best. Small, no taste, very easy to swallow. It is a clinically excellent product. I am a RN so I expect excellent products. Thank you

You may wonder why 5000 IU is even offered since it exceeds the US daily recommend dosage. The truth is that the majority of people are deficient and extreme deficiency is not usually in the northern parts of the US. Also, getting adequate Vitamin D from the sun and diet is very unlikely for most US lifestyles, especially in northern states and compounded further in winter (UVB does not even reach your skin in the winter in the north so laying out butt ass naked will have zero Vitamin D production). Having more Melanin in your skin (darker skin) also reduces your efficiency at producing sun derived vitamin D. If you look at studies of people that died from Covid 19 and their Vitamin D levels, there is a shocking correlation between Vitamin D deficiency and death. So how much do you need? A serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level (blood measurement) of 40-60 ng/mL is now considered ideal. To determine if a 5,000 IU pill is adequate, you need to take into account your current ideal level and your weight. My recent serum test showed I was at 42 mg/mL and my current weight is 200 Lbs. Vitamin D is a fat soluble hormone (not even a vitamin technically) that is stored up in your body waiting to be utilized by the cells/immune system. You use up about 20% of the stored Vitamin D per month. This is very much like your vehicles gas tank that you fill with fuel. You don't use all your fuel at once and you don't overfill your tank (think vitamin D toxicity). So the formula for maintaining would look like this: Desired level in mg/mL x 20% x (your current weight/154 baseline weight in pounds) x 10,000 IU. If I want to maintain 42 mg/mL it would be 42ng/mL x 20% x (200 lbs/154 lbs baseline) x 10,000 IU. 42 x 0.2 x 1.30 x 10,000 = 109,200 IU needed per month Assuming I take 1 per day that's 109,200/30 = 3,640 IU required to maintain a 42 mg/mL level. Taking this pill at 5,000 IU per would mean my levels would slowly rise over time. If I just wanted to be exact at maintaining 42 mg/mL, then I would just put 22 pills in a bag and consume them over a given month (109,200/5,000 = 22 of these pills). Now, if you expose yourself to 20-30 minutes of sun per day and/or consume high levels of deep cold water fish, then this will reduce your monthly requirement. There are charts for measuring this too. These pills are affordable, easy to take, and helped me get my levels about 40 mg/mL. The key is getting tested, supplementing and then retesting down the road.

Great Vitamin D3! In conjunction with my other daily vitamins, it’s helped out a great deal.

This is an easy product not only to take, but knowning I am getting a high- potency formula, free of fillers, to support my bones. muscles and immune function is peace of mind.

Seems to be as advertised. I’ve taken it now for two or three weeks and it feels like it’s starting to kick in and make me feel better.

I don't go a day without taking these.

Nice product

If you live in the snow belt, chances are you take these.
