MegafoodVitamin D3 1000 IU (25 mcg) - Immune Support Supplement - Bone Health - With easily-absorbed Vitamin D3 – Plus real food - Non-GMO, Vegetarian - Made Without 9 Food Allergens - 90 Tabs

I was looking for a lower dose (1,000 IU), natural form of Vitamin D. Most companies produce high dose (5,000-10,000 IU) synthetic form of Vitamin D. Those will not work for my body.I get plenty of sun, so I don't need the highest dose, plus I feel weird from higher doses. Also, I don't like how most D is purely synthetic. I'm not sure how natural the form of D is in this formulation, but at least it is surrounded by brown rice, parsley, broccoli, carrots, and beets. That, combined with the lower dosage (1,000 IU), is enough to make the side effects reduced to zero.

Ordered supplements for my wife. She has been very satisfied.

I love MegaFoods vitamins and have used them for several years. They are the only vitamins that don't bother my stomach. However, I gave this shipment only 4 stars, because the pills are a little sticky, like as if they may have been in the heat too long. I don't know where the problem is in the supply chain, but I hope it did not affect their potency.

What can I say?Ingredients:Vitamin D3: sourced from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Not anything to worry about, since this is just yeast. Yeast produces Vitamin D-2 Naturally.Note: Vitamin D-3 sourced from Lanolin (sheep) is used in the process. As a result, this is not vegan if you really care. One star off because of this misconception. I would take all the stars off if this brand vitamin was the only company deceiving the public with their marketing. However, almost all vitamins are sourced from odd places. Do your research people.S. cerevisiae: Why do they list this as "Immune Health Blend" beats me. All this is saying is that the vitamin D-3 was not purified after the process of making it was complete. The yeast is still in the pill (and is a majority of the pill by weight). This is like saying that eating 253 mg of yeast and broccoli will improve your immunity. I guarantee you, 8oz of water will act as a better immune supplement than the "waste" left behind after the production of D-3.77 mg of Parsley, Carrot, Beet Root and Rice Bran will not do anything for you.Plant cellulose, Vegetable Lubricant and Silica are harmless.3 Stars because this is an OK supplement, there isn't much between a bulk D-3 supplement and this expensive "healthy" alternative.Overall, you have to be vegan or on some extreme diet to take this supplement regularly.

Not sureAll vitamins pretty much taste the same.
