Osavi Vitamin D3 2000 IU – 120 Softgels | Supports Immune Function | Bone Health | Muscle Function and Calcium Absorption | Contains Quali®–D | Derived from Natural Lanolin and MCT Oil from Coconut

I was advised by a qualified doctor to supplement my vitamin D3 at the beginning of covid, as no doubt many people did, due to the lack of exposure to uvb from the sun, hence the popular term of D3 being the sunshine vitamin.I have steadily worked through bottles of D3 since that time, purchases i have made myself from various sellers on Amazon typically in tablet form, but i have become more aware of supplements now available in soft gel form and that has been an attraction for me to review these from Osavi.As with any improved product, there will be a difference in cost, but in the long term process of getting an important vitamin, like D3, i would say its worth considering what quality of vitamin you are looking for.Each softgel capsule is providing 2000 IU (international units) of D3 which i understand for the UK would be a good level to take, but you would need guidance on specific levels based on your age, skin tone, lifestyle and health status.My last batch of tablet form vitamins were 1000 IU, so that has doubled my intake, which i am pleased about.I'm taking one a day with water and food, at breakfast time as with my other supplements and prefer the softgel as it absorbs better into my system due to the way that this D3 is dissolved in MCT oil from coconutMCT oil is known for its excellent absorption properties, ensuring that I get the maximum benefit from each softgel.I appreciate there are no unnecessary additives or fillers, so for me i can see a change in how i purchase my key vitamins in the future, in softgel form, like these from Osavi.

These are great, and seem like there is a good range from this brand.For me, as someone who suffers with D3 deficiency, they are kind of a low dose. But if you are a normal healthy adult, who eats well and takes in the sun if and when we get any, these are fine to suppliment your diet with. But if you are at risk of deficiency then do your research into the different dosage levels first.

I did not realise when ordering that these have gelatin and I do not eat gelatin so I gave it to someone who does. This bottle contains 2 months of vitamin D if you take one capsule a day. After a few weeks of taking these softgel capsules, you'd start to notice some difference especially you'd feel less pain in your fingers in the morning as compared to before taking these capsules. I think that this is related to taking these capsules. This is a good quality vitamin supplement that comes with a 2 month supply. It is a good value for money product and I highly recommend these but beware that this is not suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Only one capsule caused severe upset stomach for a whole day with horrible stomach pain and having to spend hours in the toilet. These vitamin D3 capsules contain MCT oil (not the usual sunflower oil olive oil) which in some people can cause very unpleasent side effects but might suit others.Only purchased these for the D3 so didnt realise it. Made me very unwell. Never again !

Vitamin D is important for healthy bones, teeth and muscle, and is also recommended to boost the immune system. The UK NHS RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of vitamin D for adults is 10 micrograms (μg) – NB NOT milligrams, which are thousand times larger - or 400 International Units (IU); it also advises adults not to take more than 100μg (4000 IU) as this can be harmful to you; long term overdosing can cause damage to the bones, heart and kidneys.Vitamin D3 is commonly regarded as the most beneficial form (along with sunlight derived D2), so you're on good ground with these; in natural diets D3 is only derived from animal products so seeking out a vegetarian supplement is a good idea for those following that diet. These tablets are definitely not vegetarian, however.2000 International Units (which is the same as 50μg) is a high dose but well within the recommended safe maxiumum limit; just make sure that any other supplements/vitamins you are taking do not take you above those 4000 IU (100μg).In value for money terms, this 50μg dose will cost you 11p per day. There is cheaper on Amazon - a quick trawl shows some 25μg tablets at 2p each (so 4p a day for the same dose) and even one brand of 50μg tablets for 2p per day; overall, you could save £33 a year with the latter.So: a good high dose (personally I wouldn't go higher) but shop around.

Review of: Osavi Vitamin D3, 2000IU - 60 softgelsVitamin D3 is one vitamin often recommended by doctors especially in the UK where we don't get a lot of sunshine and also for older people as the ability of the body to create it from exposure to sunlight declines with age.We take vitamin D3 all year round as we consider it so important and we don't always get outside when we have so much rain.I like the fact that this one is standalone (not combined with vitmain K2) as it leaves you to choose whether or not to take vitamin K or in what ratio.I also like that the manufacturer lists the strength of one capsule on the front of the label rather than that contained in a recommended dose.I have read that the vitamin can be more easily absorbed in an oil base, so that's another positive, although I have no way of telling if that works.The only negative thing I have noticed is that the gel capsule is made from bovine gelatine. I would normally choose a vegetable option, but I can live with it.At just over £3 for a month's supply it's good value.

These are easy to take soft gel capsules.2000 iU. I take 2 tablets as the previous Vit D3 I took was 4000iU and that is what the doctor recommended to me after a blood test showed I had low vitamin D.I often buy Vitamin D and share it with my sister but she doesn’t eat gelatine and these have gelatine in the casing; so not suitable for vegetarians or vegans
