I’ve been really happy with the Sports Research Vitamin D3 supplement. The softgels are easy to swallow, and I like that it includes coconut MCT oil for better absorption. The quality feels great, and I appreciate that it’s non-GMO and free from gluten and soy. The 5000 IU strength is a good option for anyone needing extra Vitamin D support, and the liquid softgel form makes it convenient compared to larger tablets. I also haven’t noticed any aftertaste, which is a plus. Overall, this is a simple, high-quality supplement that’s easy to incorporate into a daily routine. Definitely recommend!

Easy to swalow. NIce quantity for the price, convenient bottle.

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.

Love it!! Really small pill!

Small, easy to swallows.

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.

I highly recommend this product is one of the best I've ever try'd and one of the cleanest product out there with out fillers or unnecessary stuff in it, its really good for the immune system and fighting colds and infections of any kind. Make sure to use this Vitamin D3 5,000 IU with Vitamin K2 MK4 5,000mcg , the best times to take D3 with K2 5,000mcg is at the end of the day just make sure you take it 3 or 4 hours before sleep to be able to sleep other wise to close to bed time will keep you awake creating insomnia. If you never use Vitamin D3 5,000 IU go easy on it, start with 1 a day and after one month you can increase 1 more every 2 or 3 weeks until you get to about 25,000 IU or 30,000 IU but only if your fighting something serious, my best Advice is to check with your Doctor to see your Vitamin levels and he or she can recommend the exact dose for your needs. The Reason I say take Vitamin K2 MK4 5,000mcg is because its the regulator of Calcium, with out this type of K2 it will create Calcification, K2 with direct the Calcium in to the right places like Bones and teeth. Please do some research on the things that I have mentioned so that you can learn more. I Wish you luck on your Journey, Stay Strong and Healthy
