Will I need to take a vitamin D-3 supplement as well or is there enough included in this cod liver formula?

Yes, it is very important to take 4000-6000 IU of vit D daily based on what my naturopath says and other sources. This one only has 270 IU per serving. I take the 5000 IU Vit D softgels by NOW.

There are two forms of Vitamin D. Vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. Vit D2 is a precursor to D3, converted to D3 by the liver. Vitamin D3 is the component of Vitamin D that causes the positive effects on the body. on lab tests, total Vitamin D levels are from adding D2 and D3 together. Since D2 has to be changed to D3 for your body to use it properly, the best supplement is D3.

It says "may contain soy" it contains vit A (4500 UI) vit D (450 UI) EPA (447 mg) DHA (400mg) other Onega-3s (594 mg) the ingredient list says "cod liver oil, natural lemon essence, natural peppermint essence, alpha tocopherol" if you contact Garden of Life's customer service I am sure they can answer any other questions. They are very helpful.

There is no vitamin D. I order this product everytime, because it is the only one I have found to contain calcium citrate alone.

This is not cod liver oil. Barlean's has a separate product line for cod liver oil. This fish oil comes from the whole fish (anchovy, sardine, and mackerel) rather than just the liver, and contains ascorbic acid, rosemary extract, ascorbyl palmitate, soy lecithin and d-alpha tocopherol. These act as an anti-oxidant ensuring the product is fresh. Ascorbic acid is vitamin C.

Here's what I found on the web 1 mcg vitamin D (cholecalciferol) = 40 IU My guess is 25 mcg or email Bulk Supplements

I would agree with the previous answer. I'll tell you what the label says: Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) 5000 IU daily value 1250%. Other ingredients: Highly refined soybean oil, gelatin, glyerin, and water. Distributed by Metagenics, Aliso Viejo CA 92656, 1 800 692 9400

I hope it's not pure, because if it is the people taking it over a long time are in trouble. I did the calculation and figured that if it really was pure people would be getting hundreds of times more vitamin D3 than it says on the label. My calculation was close to that of Mr Greg Gibson.My doctor told me a story about a company that sold vitamin D3 powder and the powder was MUCH stronger than claimed on the label. A person suffered from vitamin 3 toxicity because of this and tried to sue the company, but the company had disappeared.

I looked that up when I got these, and yes it is Vitamin D3. I think I actually asked someone at the Vitamin Code company to be sure!

Vitamin D3 (500 IU) and Calcium (630 IU) per serving. 2 caplets per serving.

The answer is very simple. Each cap contains Vitamind D3 5000IU, percentage daily value 1250%. As a matter of fact I consume 1000 IU, average, per day. I buy, for instance, Vitamind D3 2000IU and tke one every other day. Its enough according to my investigation about this suplement. And you can also absorb D3 by staying under the sun for a short while at the rigth time of the day.
