Bluebonnet Nutrition Liquid Vitamin D3 Drops 5000 IU, Aids in Muscle and Skeletal Growth, D3, Non GMO, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Kosher, Citrus Flavor (743715003781), 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

5000 IU is more than is recommended by some authorities. But when I'm exposed to people with colds, or if the Flu-map shows that there's widespread infection in my region, or if I'm getting a scratchy throat or something, I take multiple drops. And there are a bunch of problems that interfere with absorption -- like being over 50 years old, so taking more than a couple of thousand IU seems like a good thing, anyway.The small print on the bottle says "Shake Well First." Recommend you don't forget.There's no eye-dropper. Built in to the top of the bottle is a plastic dispenser. I keep the bottle in the fridge, which thickens the oil and makes it difficult for any drops to come out. But applying warm water to the bottle is all it takes to get it flowing more quickly. Just warm the bottle, then shake the bottle well, take off the cover, turn the bottle over, and the drops come out one by one, the warmer the faster. I use a teaspoon to catch the drops.I read that Vitamin D is fat- oil-soluble, therefore for best absorption, take with dietary fats and/or oils. I chase down my drops with a teaspoon of cold pressed coconut oil. However, the carrier for this Vitamin D is an oil, so maybe it's not necessary to add any additional oil to the regimen.The taste is mildly citrusy, very mild flavor of lemons and oranges, no problem for the taste buds.I've had big pills with much less D in them, like 400 IU. Hard to imagine one drop of this contains 5000 IU.

My 90 year old dad's Vitamin D level had dropped to 13 (the low range starts at 30). It isn't easy to add more "pills" to someone who is resistant to drinking enough for the medicine he already takes and I wanted as much absorption as possible. The taste of these drops - I will be honest - isn't really all that great. So I decided to add a drop to his 4 oz of morning peach nectar to see if it helps. He has blood tests every 3 months. His next blood test showed his Vitamin D level doubled and rose to 27. It works wonderfully and he doesn't even realize he is taking an additional vitamin. I am hoping for even better results in 3 months. I am very happy with the drops and will continue to order them :)

I take this vitamin d3 daily- great product highly recommended.

I like this product because it's easy to take with just about anything I eat. It also has a great taste. I've been taking this for a while now and have had no adverse reactions to it. I will say, I am taking a combination of vitamins (Zinc, Selenium, and magnesium) along with it and I feel anew. I feel rested in the morning, I no longer struggle with acid reflux, and my brain fog is nonexistent. My only complaint is that the dropper isn't the best. More times than not, I have dropped double the recommended daily amount because the dropper drips too quickly and allows excess liquid to pool around the tip.

I started off at 17.5 ng/ml Vitamin D. I was taking a gel cap supplement that got me up to 20.5 ng/ml after about 7 months. I switched to this product in December 2020, and am now at 26.1 ng/ml. I'm hoping to be out of "deficiency" range by the next time the test is run!The dropper tip is a little confusing, at first; just hold the bottle upside down to drip out a drop or two (I take two/day, per doctor's orders). Tip it back quickly to keep from wasting any. Thanks to another reviewer for the tip to just put a couple of drops on the back of the hand and lick it off - that's easy. The slight citrusy flavor is pleasant - not too strong, not heavy or oily.I definitely recommend this product, and apparently it's made locally!
