Carlson Solar D Gems, Vitamin D3 4000 IU (100 mcg) & Omega-3 Softgels

This item has always arrive promptly and has been a reliable product that I have used for years to keep my Vitamin D level normal.

Good quality vitamin D. Blood levels of D are excellent while I take this. Easy to swallow

These are great vitamins

I have ordered these before with no problem. This time I got them and every single pill is stuck together, no way to get even one out of the bottle. I tried to start a return but it is rejected as unable to be returned. I sent a message at the Carlson web page and got no response. I do have a theory that tariffs are cutting in so now we are getting second hand ones that have been sitting on a docker somewhere getting hot and sticking together. Either way, I guess I won't be buying these anymore, I think I can find a bulk supplements version that has similar qualities. ================== update, I contacted Carlson labs from their webpage and was able to get a replacement. Hopefully it doesn't happen again in the future.

We've been taking Carlson's Solar D's for years. (Ever since I first found our about how important Vit D is for our health in 2012). They are easy to swallow. Cheap for how may you get. Keep our Vitamin D levels around 80ng/ml when taking 2 per day. They include other nutrients (Vitamins A and E, omega 3 fatty acids) that make them even more affective. If we were only allowed to take one supplement it would be Carlson's Solar D's.

I've been so meticulous about protecting my skin from the sun (sun hat, gloves, long sleeved tops when running errands) that my vitamin D level became low. I went on a long search for a fish based Vitamin D3 oil after the great Solray brand switched from fish oil to selling lanolin (oil from the wool of sheep). I wanted the finest quality Vitamin D3 fish oil. What attracted me to Carlson is the rigorous quality control processing that Carlson adheres to, so I decided to try it. The small round capsules are easy to swallow and tasteless. I pierced a capsule out of curiosity and found the oil to be clear and light-medium in viscosity. There is no fishy aftertaste. I love the quality of this oil! I gave this product 5 stars because it deserves it. My search for the best Vitamin D3 oil ends with Carlson. I will be a loyal customer of this brand.

I’ve been using this company and vitamin D3 for many years and I have my mother on it and several of my friends

The daily supplement amount recommended by most nutritionists is now 8000IUs a day. Only 6 months ago they were recommending 5000IUs a day and have determined that 8000IUs is now a better number to shoot for as far as supplements go. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin which means 2 things for you, 1. you dont have to take it multiple times a day since your body will store it in your fat cells (unlike vitamin C and other water soluble vitamins which should be taken multiple times a day) and 2. Being that it is fat soluble it is easier to over dose on. The good news is that Vitamin D requires about 50,000IUs daily for an extended period of time before you start seeing serious negative side affects from overdose. So overall Vitamin D is a very safe vitamin to take. When reading the reviews I thought it odd that not one persons review stated how much Fish oil is in the capsule. Since Fish oil is listed as MG and D as IU there was, to me, some missing information I would have liked to know and that the Seller should have provided in its product description. So I will list the supplement facts for you so that you can make a more informed decision As you know this has 4,000IUs of Vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol and Cod Liver Oil 1IU of Vitamin E as d-alpha tocopherol (being the best kind of vitamin E you can take but its only purpose here is to keep the oil from going rancid during storage) Norwegian Cod LIver OIl of 500mg Total Omega-3 is 115mg (well below the suggested dosage of 1.1 to 1.6g a day even if you take 2 a day {some nutriononists actually say half that amount 500-600mg}) DHA is 50mg EPA is 42mg Other Omega-3 23mg If you need any other info feel free to comment.
