Carlson Labs Solar D Gems 4000 Iu Softgels, 120 Count

The media could not be loaded. The perfect amount of omega 3 and vitamin d in one convenient supplement that comes in a year supply. All I have to do is set a reminder to reorder and I’m good to go for the year. No detectable odor, the size is manageable, and it tastes like a traditional omega 3 but not overpowering like other gels. I have no issues with swallowing it and taking it has allowed me to meet my lab needs and perform at my best.

This works and my lab tests are the proof. Very glad these exist. Please keep making this vitamin it has improved my quality of life!

I have been ordering vitamin d3 and fish oil from this company for over twenty years. They have been around for a long time and offer high quality products. They also heavy metal test their products which is essential for vit D and fish oil.

Although I have read one is not supposed to exceed 2000 IU of Vitamin D3 per day by some physicians, I have also read that to get the full benefit of the vitamin you need at least this amount(4000). I have been taking these capsules for a couple of years now (I am in my late 60's), and I have seen no deleterious effects. On the other hand, I have not noted any magical improvement in my health either (but then I have always been very healthy as I lead a fairly decent life style). But back to the vitamin, the capsules are small (and kind of rubbery), so they are easy to swallow. You get over a year's worth for the money, and these capsules (D3) are not that easy to find, and are more expensive in smaller bottles. Therefore, when you consider price, difficulty of obtaining, and ease of taking, these are the best deal on the market IF you are convinced you want to take this heavy a dose. I do recommend reading up on the vitamin before buying these; as I said at the beginning, there is disagreement about how high a dosage is safe. I think these are safe, at least for me, and I plan to continue taking them.

My spine and brain surgeon recommend this brand to me.I was placed on #4 4000iu daily as my D level was too low for spinal surgery, so low that it took a year before it actually showed max (accepted) elevation.This is a very good product and brand in my opinion and has worked for the 6 yrs and four spine surgeries.*********************************I am not a doctor or surgeon, what is stated below is from experience.Side note: If you find yourself needing Vitamin D for a spine surgery, and you have the option of getting a disc implant instead of a fusion, get a disc implant!!!My first surgery was an implant (to the wrong disc) and I didnt even know it was done except for the incision area. Do not get a fusion (implant was fused over later) unless you'll die or be totally disabled if you don't. Ask EVERY question imaginable and educate yourself in your MRI results "words, meanings, ect". L4/L5/S1 Fusions can affect your SI Joints, which cause them to work more than usual and can be very painful and cause spasms, then generates to your hips causing pain.There is A LOT of online information on failed fused spine surgeries and what medical ailments and even disability that it causes. Please read up what you can for questions before surgery.Im not a doctor or surgeon, but just someone that went through Pain Management with injections and 4 spine surgeries the first 6 yrs, but since 2011 that has read up on a lot of medical studies and forums during and after that time)Surgeons will say it is a successful surgery even if it was a failed surgery, meaning the procedure went well and you didn't die from it.Take care of you!

I have been taking these for years. 4000 IU 3x week approved by my doc. Bloodwork shows it has increased my Vit D levels. There is absolutely no bad taste following the taking of these. In fact, most of the time I chew the capsule for that hint of lemon.

I have used Carlson products for many years with no problems. I try to get as much sun as I can (without burning) in the summer but as I live in Colorado the winters preclude getting any Vit D form the sun. I recently had a full lab panel done and my Vit D was 35. According tho the lab anything above 32 is good. My research indicates that 50-65 would be much better and that levels of 70-90 have very potent anti-cancer properties. I have been taking two 4000 IU capsules a day to raise my levels and at my next test will adjust accordinly.Amazons price is excellent, ESPECIALLY on the 360 count bottle and with Prime it is all the better.I trust this products far more than what is available at Sams and Costco and the small bottles available at the health food stores make upping you Vit D levels much more expensive.

The media could not be loaded. I like Carlson products and have been using them for years. I just received these Solar D Gems and almost the entire bottle is clumped together. I tried breaking them apart, but they would not budge!! What the heck Carlson?!Please fix your quality control!!
