Solgar, Natural Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), 1000 IU, 250 Softgels

Excellent product, but take care (it also contains Vitamin A)

I'm using a couple of Solgar products and they are all top notch. However, I did not pay attention to product details: beside vitamin D3 these gels also contain 3000 IU Vitamin A. This is important when, like me, using other supplements that also contain vitamin A. Keep an eye on the Upper Tolerable Intak Level (UL) of vitamins A!

Seniors need this supplement.

When you grow older, magnesium absorption decreases and renal excretion of magnesium increases. Magnesium is, among other things, needed for the production of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), which is the main energy-producing molecule in the body. Therefore, deficiency can lead to chronic tiredness. This magnesium is the citrate form and highly absorbable. This 57-year old carcass is very happy with this supplement.

Solgar, Folate As Metafolin, 800 mcg, 100 Tablets

The stuff you are looking for

Two forms folic acid (vitamin B9) are used in supplements: the synthetic folic acid and folate (the naturally occurring form). What you are looking for is folate. The synthetically produced folic acid has to be reduced in four metabolic steps for the body to use it. Furthermore, one cannot be one hundred percent sure that all the folic acid will be converted, which may mean that some unmetabolised folic acid remains in the body. The long-term effects of any such unmetabolised folate acid are unknown. Folate (as metafolin),the naturally occurring form, can be used directly by the body. An adequate intake of folates is essential for the prevention of many disorders including anaemia, neural tube defects, various forms of cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's disease, colon cancer and depression.

Solgar, Full Spectrum Omega, Wild Alaskan, 120 Softgels

EPA & DHA mean nothing

………it is about how well they are absorbed. Studies are out that show that the presence of other fats in the fish activates processes required to absorb EPA and DHA (omega 3) properly. This explains why EPA and DHA are better absorbed from eating whole fish than from taking fish oil (with only EPA & DHA). Solgar wild Alaskan salmon oil delivers the full spectrum of omega’s found in salmon and not only omega 3. Another great product from Solgar. I’m using 7 supplements. All but one (Stevia) are from Solgar. In my experience Solgar is the best. Reliable company. Also kudos to Iherb. Fast delivery and well packaged. As usual. Thanx.

NuNaturals, Pure Liquid, Vanilla Stevia, With Singing Dog Vanilla Extract, 2 fl oz (59 ml)

Works best in chilled dairy products

Posted on Jul 08, 2011

Purchased at iHerb

After reading a lot of reviews of different stevia products I have chosen NuNaturals and I'm not disappointed. This is my first stevia experience. In coffee it works as sweetener but the taste of vanilla is not there. Probably the heat kills it. However, taken in yoghurt and quark (the natural versions) it turns these products in real yummi stuff. A subtle vanilla taste is there. I don't experience a bitter after taste. I use about 7 drops. Will reorder again.

These tablets contain selenium in its natural form. It helps, among other things, to prevent cellular damage from free radicals. Good product from Solgar, as usual. Reliable company.

I don't eat enough fresh veggies & fruit everyday that's why I'm using earth source. I only take 1 tablet a day (suggested is 3). After swallowing a green pill I feel it is working in my body. I alternate between earth source and omnium every other day. Great products from a reliable company.

I now take fluid fish oil instead of soft gells because of the higher concentration epa/dha. My latest blood test showed a great HDL cholesterol level (1.81 mmol/l). I contribute this to fish oil and fitness training 4 times a week. Oil has a superb taste.

Like it these soft gells come in 2000 IU so I can adjust the dosage: in winter high dosage, when the sun starts to shine I lower the dosage. Good product from a good company.
