Vitamin D protects a number of important functions in the body. In addition to supporting healthy bones and muscles, it supports cardiovascular health and immune function. Although direct sunlight provides natural vitamin D, many individuals of all ages, especially the elderly, do not get enough vitamin D from sunlight and their diet. Vitamin D supplementation can be of great benefit in these situations. However, the powders used in many pre-mixed vitamin D dilutions frequently contain potentially detrimental ingredients such as lactose, as well as preservatives such as BHT, BHA, sodium benzoate, and sorbic acid. Thorne’s vitamin D is formulated for individuals who are sensitive to those ingredients.
In the United States, the current recommended daily intake of 800 IUs vitamin D is based on the minimum amount to protect against bone disease. However, this amount might not be sufficient to support optimal health. Research suggests serum vitamin D levels should be in the range of 32-80 ng/mL 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
The amount of vitamin D needed to achieve minimum vitamin D sufficiency – generally recognized to be a blood level of 32 ng/mL of 25-hydroxyvitamin D – depends on many factors and varies from individual to individual. Thus, the requirement for vitamin D supplementation should be individualized. Either D-1,000 or D-5,000 maybe be ideal to maintain an optimal level of vitamin D in healthy individuals.
D-10,000 is intended for individuals who need higher vitamin D supplementation, and D-25,000 is intended for individuals who need short-term, very high vitamin D supplementation.

Quality supplements and fast service
Natures Balance is the only site I use for my supplements. Great prices and super fast delivery. They have never let me down an I have been using them for some time.
I was in desperate need for my Udo's oils but couldn't get to a shop. When I found Natures Balance, it was easy and quick to find what I was after, followed by the pleasure of seeing how cheap it was! All round bonus! I'll use them again!
This site seems to have everything you are looking for, cost is not the best ive seen in my opinion, but for quantity in a variety of products, here's the place to be!
