Product Description
Vitamin D has long provided significant support for healthy bone density. Over the past year, however, scientists have validated the critical role that vitamin D plays in regulating cell division and differentiation. These new findings link a deficiency of vitamin D to a host of common age-related maladies. As a result of this new research and startling evidence of widespread vitamin D deficiency, prominent nutritional scientists are calling on Americans to increase their vitamin D intake to 1000 IU per day and higher. The current RDA, however, is only 400 IU. Vitamin D3 is synthesized in the body from sunlight. However, the winter season, weather conditions, and sunblocks inhibit the body's ability to produce optimal levels of vitamin D. All of these factors point to the value of taking a daily supplement to ensure optimal vitamin D intake. For those who need to take very high doses of vitamin D3 and are under a physician's supervision, Life Extension now makes available a 5000 IU vitamin D3 supplement.

You can't just go down the street to get this
produce. You have to pretty much order it and wait.
I ordered this and am very pleased.
Very fast and the best price around.

I have been taking this daily, for about 6 months. I could only find this product online. So far so good.
Caution with this dosage May 15, 2009

As a physician specializing in hormone balance (active vitamin D is a actually a hormone) and natural medicine, I would recommend caution in taking 5000 IU of vitamin D3 every day. Although the RDA for this nutrient is too low and vitamin D deficiency is an epidemic in the US (at least 85% of my patients are low, and I test everyone), 5000 IU of D3 every day can lead to toxic levels (biggest concern is increased risk of calcification of soft tissues and kidney stones). Check your 25(OH)Vitamin D level twice a year -- optimal is 40-70.

Allow me to be straight forward and succinct. Go to http://www.vitamindcouncil.com/; explore the website; make up your own mind
Now to be antectotal: My wife and I have been taking this dosage for two years and have not yet caught even a code.
One other comment: Both of us have found that our hair and our nails are growing about 1.3 times as rapidly as they used to. Why?
I don't know.
