  • 5,000 IU D3 per softgel

  • Vital support for bones, immune systems and emotional wellness

Swanson Premium high Potency Vitamin D-3 5,000 IU is our highest potency vitamin D supplement available. Americans need more vitamin D, and experts across the country are calling for changes to the RDA and suggesting that a majority of us are not getting enough. Vitamin D is vital to healthy bones, strong immune system functions and mental/emotional wellness. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D, but our production capacity is limited...especially in winter months when sun exposure is reduced.

The current RDA for vitamin D is between 200 IU and 600 IU for the average person based on age, weight and health status. But most experts now recommend that healthy individuals take in up to 1,000 IU on top of what they might get through diet and multivitamins. Those in Northern climates or with greater needs may need even more. Our new 5,000 IU vitamin D-3 softgels answer the need for those who require higher intake.

Highest Potency Vitamin D-3 5000 IU 5 5 24 30
Great product. I wanted the highest potency vitamin D-3 I could get so of course Swanson was my first choice. The small gel caps are so easy to swallow. Great value for the price. My husband and I both take Swanson products because we just know that we get the best through them. May 20, 2012
Great value for the price and is proving to be effective for me. Would recommend this brand for anyone that has been told to supplement with VIt D3. May 14, 2012
Excellent quality. Another item that everybody should have. April 3, 2012
Fantastic Deal I have not been able to find a D-3 of this potency at such a great price! This is the highest IU I've found and think that the price and amount of softgels are fantastic. It's very small and easy to swallow. No aftertaste and no problems with ever finding any softgels that have been punctured and leaking! Great product. I'm a red head with fair skin and don't drink milk or get out in the sun too much, I need all the D i can get! April 1, 2012
Excellent price/excellent product! D deficiencies are rampant in my family, so this high quality, high potency product with it's low price are invaluable to me! March 31, 2012
Boosts Low Vitamin D Great price for the quantity. Boosted my deficient Vitamin D level. Small and easy to take. March 30, 2012
love the little size i have been giving these to my 90 yr old dad. he has been responding very well . he does not get outside as much as he should to get sun. i will buy them for myself also, as soon as i use up the 10 or 15 bottles i have of the 2000iu. March 28, 2012
Vitamin D-3 My Dr. told me I was low in vitamin D and I told him I was already taking the product and he told me to increase it, so I did. Great product! I am a redhead and can't do much sun, so the product is great for me! March 27, 2012
Terrific This small form of D-3, 5,000 IU is terrific, its easy to swallow and provides exactly what I need. Although I was taking Swanson's 1,000 IU capsule of D-3 for years, I needed to take a higher IU of D-3, according my doctor. When I up the dose and started taking this smaller, but more potent form of of Vitamin D-3, my levels were in range. Since D-3 helps my Calcium absorption so I take them together. I highly recommend this product. March 25, 2012
Great stuff It seems to be working. I like taking one small gel instead of two per day. March 24, 2012
Good purchace Majority of people in the US are deficient in Vitamin D, it's a good dose to take every day. March 20, 2012
Easier to take Small gel caplets are stronger, so only have to take one or two--instead of 5-6. March 15, 2012
Tiny but potent This vitamin form is a powerhouse in the tiniest gel pill I've ever seen! I can really feel the difference on days when I forget to take it. My partner used to take a different D3 brand - not as high a dosage as mine and he had to take 2 big gel pills a day. He recently switched to Swanson's brand and now he's hooked! March 2, 2012
Almost as good as Sunlight Having taken D-3 for years this is the first time I've been prompted to write a review. Sunlight is by far the best way to get your D but this Swanson 5000 IU Vitamin D-3 is by far the most convenient and is of the highest quality of any I've ever taken. When I can't get out in the sun I take this and my body knows that it's getting what it needs. My highest approval rating goes to this product. March 1, 2012
great! NIce small pill and def has a positive affect on my mood. February 27, 2012
Research Shows that most people are vitamin D deficient. Recommended dosages have been going up. I've read the softgels are better absorbed than the dry kinds. February 20, 2012
Great for everything... If you are looking for energy and happiness this is the vitamin for you. Swanson's makes a perfect D3! January 2, 2012
Dynamite comes in Small Packages I love this Vitamin D, the pill is tiny, easy to swallow and powerful. December 23, 2011
Great product Can't beat the IU's in this one little pill and for the quantity and price, it lasts a long time. Thank you Swansons. October 20, 2011
Vitamin D3 I like this product it is good value for money, and helps my mood swings immensely. I feel energized and well. July 19, 2011
great product I feel much better after starting this vitamin. June 18, 2011
I Wouldn't Be Without It Friends gave me a gift of Vitamin D-3 about a year and a half ago, and I couldn't be more pleased. My immune system is the happiest it's ever been. April 7, 2011
Good Value Shipped quickly and arrived without a problem. This is a good value at this price. April 3, 2011
Wish I had known about this years ago! My mom recently recommended I add vitamin D3 to my arsenal of vitamins for two reasons. She read that it was the "sunshine" vitamin and would help with my worse moods in the winter due to shorter days plus our family tends to have a deficiency. So, when I found it on here I thought "why not?". Soooooo glad I did, my moods have been MUCH better (and that is saying a lot considering the winter with its cold and short days are the worst time of the year for me!). January 18, 2011
