I have a Vitamin D deficiency and have had to take a Vitamin D supplement for many years. At my last doctors appointment my D levels were lower than usual and my doctor said I needed to up my supplement dose to 5,000 IU. I went to my local store and the only brand available in 5,000 IU was expensive and there weren't that many pills in the bottle. I immediately whipped out my phone to check Amazon and saw that the naturewise Vitamin D was highly rated, not too expensive and just shy of a years supply in the bottle. I ordered it while standing in the store! For someone like me who has to take a daily supplement an almost years supply in one bottle is so great, I don't have to constantly worry about running out. The pills are small and very easy to swallow, a major plus! My next 6 month checkup to monitor my vitamin levels won't be until November, so I'll be curious to see what my levels are now that I've upped the dose.
After reading in medical journals about how important D3 is to overall health I had my blood tested for vitamin D levels. It was low, as is typical for more than half the U.S. After taking this supplement for a couple months I am eager to see what my current levels are. But ***BEWARE*** this company offers free bottles for your review on Amazon. So the high number of reviews can be somewhat misleading. However, that obviously doesn't mean that it is a bad product.
I take this Vitamin D3 5,00 IU supplement daily, as per my doctor's request (I have MS). I like that the size of the actual capsules is so small. Since I take numerous pills daily, it's helpful to keep the size of each pill / capsule smaller. My Vitamin D3 levels are confirmed to be in a normal range, as a result of taking this daily.
After doing some research, my husband had suggested to me that Vitamin D3 might help with my thin, brittle hair and fingernails. I've been using this product since mid November, and I have seen an improvement in my hair and fingernails. Even my beautician commented about how healthy my "new" hair growing in is. My fingernails also seem to be getting harder and growing faster.
I have struggled with Vit. D deficiency for several years. With it, I experience immune challenges and exacerbations of various autoimmune conditions, which present with primarily neurological symptoms including neuralgia and parasthesias. I also experience frequent brain fog and mental fatigue. Since I've begun this product (twice a day-10,000 IU-for 7 days, then once a day following), I've noticed some improvement in symptoms after the first 10 days. My brain fog is less and I feel overall, more resilient. I realize I need to take Vit. D3 in gel caps as part of my DAILY supplemental regimen because it's a significant precursor for a number of important endocrinel and immunological pathways. Apparently, I do not get enough sun and being postmenopausal makes it challenging, as well. Thank you for the opportunity to receive a free bottle and to share my experiences.

Description
Why It’s an Essential Vitamin
Vitamin D can be found in cells throughout the entire body. It is necessary for calcium and phosphorus absorption to build and maintain strong bones and teeth, provide immune system support, and for healthy muscle function.*
Can’t You Get Vitamin D From the Sun?
Often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin,” vitamin D3 is synthesized when bare skin is exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) light. However, studies show that most people do not get the recommended amount from sunlight alone. Factors that can inhibit vitamin D3 production include the time of day sun exposure occurs, season, latitude, skin color, age, clothing, and sunscreen use. In fact, according to Mayo Clinic, 25% to 50% or more of the general population may be vitamin D deficient. NatureWise Vitamin D3 delivers the same biologically active form of vitamin D produced in the body as a result of direct sunlight -- without the risk of unprotected UVB exposure.
Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency
Bone pain and brittleness, muscle weakness, and tiredness can all indicate a deficiency in vitamin D. People who may be at higher risk for deficiency include those who spend a lot of time indoors, have darker skin pigmentation, are elderly, or overweight.
Our Vitamin D3 is Third Party Tested for Quality, Purity, and Potency
NatureWise Vitamin D3 contains 100% natural, USP grade, non-GMO, certified organic olive oil. Our vitamin D3 is made following strict GMP standards. We utilize specialized ISO 17025 third party laboratories to test for physical, chemical, and microbial contamination, guaranteeing that each and every bottle of NatureWise Vitamin D3 meets the highest standards for purity, potency, and safety.

I was feeling super sluggish lately and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. No amount of coffee could fix the gloom that would come over me every day. I spent hours researching what could be wrong and I came across vitamin D deficiency. I immediately ordered this product. After a few days, I started to feel my energy come back. The pills are small and I take one daily in the morning. I now have my husband drink them too and he's felt a huge difference. I would buy this again.
When I started NatureWise D3 5,000 IU, I did not have any existing conditions. My goal was to improve my already good health - especially brain function and clarity.
Well, after about a week, I looked at the previous day or 2, and realized I dealt with stress and was able to focus much better than 2 weeks before. I hadn't changed much about my lifestyle except adding the D3, so there is solid evidence that the D3 was the cause, or at least supported this improvement.
*Note - I wasn't in the sun for any significant length of time on these days either.
I didn't notice much difference between week 2 and week 4, except of course the improved mental clarity...which is great!
Based on my experience, I can say this is a good product that does have benefits to taking it. Of course, for people with existing issues or D3 deficiencies, the effects of taking NatureWise D3 might be even more profound.
Happy supplementing!
have been diagnosed with having major depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, panic attacks (anxiety), vitamin D deficiency, migraine headaches, suppressed immune system (oral thrush) etc., Weekly, I take a prescription for my vitamin D deficiency; however, after taking for over a year I still have a deficiency along with additional serious medical conditions.
After taking for 15 days, my mood is lifting and increased energy.
About a year ago, I developed a condition where I was experiencing a sensation of something stuck in my throat and chest pain. After numerous visits to the ER, I was finally put on a GERD treatment and told that I had a hernia that was giving me acid reflux. I went on the standard treatment of PPIs which honestly did nothing for me and I was told there wasn't much else the doctors could do. This continued on throughout the winter. Eventually I had a sensation of a constantly raw and burning throat. This continued on for the winter. Surprisingly, when the summer came, all my symptoms vanished and I concluded that the condition had gone away. Unfortunately, as we got into the fall the symptoms came back aggressively and it was only then that I started researching the link between warm weather and reflux conditions. I poured through many online resources and was glad to find that I was not the only one experiencing this. Articles pointed to a link between LPR and Vitamin D levels. My Vitamin D levels were really low (at 26) so I decided to supplement to get better. No kidding, but I am 85% better - no more constantly burning throat (a very painful and unbearable experience). I tried multiple natural supplements but this is what I have been using together with melatonin for the past month and it has been nothing short of helpful!
I have been suffering with fatigue, feelings of depression and exhaustion. After a visit from my doctor, he said I was Vitamin D deficient, which is not uncommon for Midwestern dwellers such as myself. So I wanted to combat that and after reading previous reviews I wanted to give this a try. I have to say, for the money spent on a bottle of this that lasts you A YEAR (yes a whole year) I am so excited I tried this. I come home from work and I still have enough energy to get me through the day and evening. Feeling much like my old self. This was a great purchase and I plan on making a Vitamin D supplement part of my daily routine.
