I am looking for vitamin D supplements, and trust the New Chapter brand. Is Bone Strength Take Care the right pill for Vitamin D supplements?

Don't know how old you are, but 1000 iuD3 is a spit in the bucket. Its like taking baby aspirin..It really does not help your bones, unless your out in the sun all day everyday.Get your Vitamin D3 checked by your Dr. to see how much you need. The only thing I see that could help bones in this is, Strontium & K2 Mk7..That is a fact. The average person over 50yo , needs 5000 iu D3 aday. D3 is NOT expensive to buy..K2 Mk-4 , is more expensive then Mk-7...M2-Mk-7 is cheap to buy.K2 Mk-4 will take the calcium to your bones and not your arteries..Mk-7 does help also.I would say this is over priced for the amounts it gives you..

What were you looking for in terms of your health condition? Sometimes, the benefits of a supplement or medication may not be readily apparent (i.e lowering blood pressure may not be something of). It's possible that vitamin D may be helping in other ways too. The customer service department can best address the issue of a free supplement but my question is why would you want more if it hasn't helped you up to this point.

This is really one of the best vitamin out there. I took it to my chiropractor he said it was one of the top. Would recommend it. You do need to take it twice a day. It's worth it.

no -- I use it, because I have nightmares and also get rashes from calcium supplements -- also, since using it, my bone density reading was improved -- I haven't had a reading since then (about 7 months ago) but I'm hoping it will continue to improve!

Amazon has a bad habit of combining comments and questions for several forms of a product.I found the tablets too large to swallow. I switched to a long tablet of calcium, and magnesium separately. Sundown Naturals 600 mg calcium plus vitamin D (that's 600 mg calcium PER TABLET) and Sundown Naturals Magnesium 250 mg make a good combination for me, and both are available on Amazon. They also make a 500 mg Magnesium which I just ordered; I haven't opened it yet, but it's clear that they are larger than the 250mg, but not too large.

Does this product work for you...? It could be watered down with too much olive oil? Curious because I have never used this product, but always purchase my Vit D drops after researching the company and it's ingredients, and how they are manufactured, processed, ect. I do use this company for another product in my home. I will say most of their products, seem to be standard, for good all natural purposes. In my own words only, "not superior".

Hello, Do not listen to them that Supplements do not work or are not needed. Proof is in the pudding, in your case it is MSM ingredients, be it this particular product, or any other that contain MSM. Why are you taking this product ?. Find the answer after you start taking it, is it helping you with your situation or pain !. If it does then do not listen to the experts on everything that supplement do not work. They do but you need to buy from a reputable company on Amazon, along with others reviews very important to way other's opinion from their experiences . I listen to those who attack the supplements and I smile and laugh at them, not all supplement you will be able to see or know the result 100% but yet I take them anyway for instance Resvertroll supplement you really can not tell if it works, but I take it on faith. Another supplement that I know with my eyes closed that has a 100% protection for me is Vitamin C 1000 mg I take 6000 a day 2 morning, 2 launch, 2 bed time, along with Vitamin D 20,000 a day 10,000 morning, 5,000 at launch, and 5,000 bed time. I do not catch cold at all and if I feel something is wrong in the system, I i-m-m-e-d-i-a-t-e-l-y take more of both. And many other supplements that I take on a regular bases, so watch your own system, and must decide for yourself as what works for you. Stay away from CANCER by not eating killed animals , and start educating your self, you have the Internet ask questions and will receive answers.

I am responding to a question asked on Amazon about Strontium by Orthomolecular brand. My very knowledgeable primary care provider recommended this product, and this brand specifically. She considers it an excellent brand, and research indicates we need 1,000 mg. of Strontium taken APART from calcium in supplements, milk, etc. So this product does that. (All other products that I have seen mix calcium and strontium in one dose, which is not effective). I had osteoporosis and neither my health care provider nor I wanted me to take pharmaceuticals any longer for it due to side effects. Right after I started taking Strontium I was in two car accidents successively, and so for the one and one-half years between DEXA scans I got almost no exercise. Nevertheless, my last DEXA showed I am out of osteoporosis into osteopenia at a significant difference -- then at age 61. My osteoporosis was once 37% bone loss in the spine. Bioidentical hormones probably help this also--I have taken them for 10 years. I seldom rate products but I think I owe it to others to let them know this really works for me, with no known negative side effects. (It is a minor mineral as I understand). It is used in Europe a lot. My physical therapist has used it with good results also. I have a friend who is an internal medicine physician and after reading the research she now gives her patients the option to us Orthomolecular brand Strontium. Read the research and then you will be careful with other Strontium products. There may be other good ones that I don't know about, but I trust Orthomolecular because my health care provider knows and recommends the company, and she is not getting benefit from selling those products.

These are the pills I ordered suggested by my doctor. The Bone Health looks like a different product. You'll have to check the ingredients on the bottles. And contact the seller and ask them the difference. There certainly is a difference in price!

I took the New Chapter vitamins after taking MegaFood for over a year and a half and was really disappointed in how I felt while taking New Chapter. The New Chapter brand made me feel very anxious. It was an unusual feeling. I went back to MegaFood and I am so happy I did. I feel so much better when I take them.

Agreed - kind of hard to buy a calcium supplement that doesn't bother to list the calcium content :)

Short answer is don't worry about D2. D3 does most of its functions and likely better....read below for where this was observed.According to a 2006 commentary in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, studies have indicated vitamin D2 supplementation results in inferior elevation of 25(OH)D levels, decreased binding affinity to DBP in plasma, and a shorter shelf life. The authors Houghton and Vieth conclude by stating, "Vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, should not be regarded as a nutrient suitable for supplementation or fortification." http://www.thorne.com/altmedrev/.fulltext/13/2/153.pdf Short answer is don't worry about D2.

Tom...unfortunately I'm unable to read the fine print on the bottle I Vitamin D I have. Initially I purchased a 360 count bottle from Nature Wise and the subsequently sent me a free bottle of 30 caps which is packaged in a much smaller bottle. The first word of the ingredients is "Organic" but all of the other ingredients are no legible.

If it is Estroven, I would have thought there was only one manufacturer. I have taken both versions, the one pill and the two pill, and both work well for me in conjunction with a Women's One A Day vitamin and a vitamin D supplement.

My entire family takes Garden of Life multis. I love them! The founders story is remarkable. I use Vitamin Code Raw Prenatal and it carries the same "warning". I think it's a regulation for every kind of supplement.

Jo, to cut a long story short, D3 is better than D2. You can look at the Vitamin D Council website for oodles of information about this and other aspects of vitamin D.
