D3 5000 is formulated to provide much needed Vitamin D in the most easily absorbable form, D3. D3 5000 is an important answer to the epidemic deficiency of vitamin D in our modern population. Low D3 levels have been implicated in autoimmune diseases, heart problems, some cancers, fibromyalgia, depression, hypertension, chronic fatigue and chronic pain. D3 is easy and inexpensive to supplement. Even if you live in a sunny area you probably need more D3. If you suffer from any of the mentioned problems you will most probably benefit from 5000 IU's or one gel cap per day. Supplies high levels of vitamin D, which is important for maintaining healthy bone strength and immune function. If pregnant or nursing, or taking medication, consult your healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of the reach of children. One gelcap daily with food or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Do not exceed the recommended dosage unless directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Most authorities are recommending 500 IU's of vitamin D per day to ward off many major diseases. We switched to these pearls as soon as they came out. The D3 Iso is also a good choice and the tablet form travels well but for everyday use, my wife and I both take the D3 5000.
