Biotics Research OBI

I purchased this vitamin D (Biotics Bio D-Mulsion Forte)from seller Grounds for Tea). It arrived quickly and is the same product (at a lower price) that my Doctor was selling in his office. I love this Vitamin D. I use it for myself and my toddler. Since I've been taking this in December, I have not had a cold (or the flu) which normally in the winter I get a cold or sinus infection every other week! In November, my doctor discovered my Vit D level was only a 38. Based on new medical research and the benefits of Vitamin D in preventing the flu plus reducing your risk of Cancer, he said my level should be around 70. So he put me on 25,000 IUs for 2 weeks and within those 2 weeks, my blood level of Vitamin D went up to 60. So now he has me at 10,000 IUs for maintenance. These drops make taking so much Vitamin D SO EASY!As for my toddler, I stopped buying her Vit D gummies that only had 400 IUS (this is the FDA recommended 'outdated' daily amount). She didn't need the added sugar and I didn't want to have to give her 5 per day. So now, I give her 1 drop daily of the Biotics (2,000 IUs) on a spoon with some peanut butter or Nutella. The best result is that she has not been sick yet since she started taking this in November. Her daycare said when the other kids are sick, she never seems to be affected. I have had her on the same vitamin regime for over a year and this is the only change....so I know for her....this Vitamin D is the difference!Look up on Youtube the benefits of Vitamin D in preventing Cancer. These are things the FDA do not want us to know!

This product was recommended by a friend that was told his vit d was out of range. His became in range in 4 months. I cannot rate this product until I have more blood work done.I will say this....after researching about good health through the loss of my husband I recognized doctors lie to you and allow your Vitamin d to drop. My daughter and I recently had hit d3 hydroxy panel blood work done and ours were below the range. I'm a caregiver and I see a lot of deadly meds being prescribed, chemo and radiation that people subject themselves to and I am shocked to the fact that doctors don't care. So... I read my own blood reports and take care of myself in a natural way that God has provided for us since the beginning of time. One known fact about cancer in my own experiences is people are being told the are stage 4 when reports show they are only stage 1. You must research, research, research. Thanks for the product. I will return with the results in a few months. I just can't tell my doctor what I take because she doesn't believe in natural healing. She became angry when I quit taking bp meds and lowered my bp using red reishi mushrooms. I never tell the doctor what I do for myself I just keep them guessing and I stay healthy. Amazon is the best place to shop with the best price. I was told I could not get this product unless I hired a naturopathic and only purchase through them. The manufacture told me this. Here it is on Amazon as usual. Thanks Amazon!

I've been using this product for years and it has done a wonderful job raising my levels of Vitamin D per laboratory testing. Recently, Biotics Research made the questionable decision to change their familiar label at the same time changing from widely recognized IU to MCG. I have no idea why they did this and some people are upset by the change, however 2000 IU is the same as 50 mcg. I put the drops side by side. They look identical and taste identical as far as I could tell. I've been taking it for years and nothing seemed amiss in the taste to me. As far as not it is only 250% RDA rather than the former 500% RDA, I can only assume that is a change of recommended dosage by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and not necessarily a decision controlled by Biotics Research? My main concern is that in the confusion of all these simultaneous changes, someone would take more drops than recommended and wind up with Vitamin D toxicity. Hopefully that doesn't happen. I will continue to use this product and follow up with blood tests to be sure it's still keeping my levels in the range I would like because it's been more effective than any other D supplement I've tried.

My vitamin D levels were low at 19, and are now approaching an optimal range recommended by my Integrative health doctor after taking Bio-D-Mulsion Forte. It is important to know how to test for vitamin D. Dr. Mercola has a "Vitamin D Resource Page" on his website and he explains optimal ranges, how to obtain vitamin D from the sun, and which labs to avoid.The New York Times had an article on a particular lab that admitted errors in its vitamin D testing. One needs to avoid this lab as an elderly friend of mine who tested through this lab had test results of 140 and when she retested through another lab her scores were only 40!I order vitamin D testing through Life Extension Foundation and their testing service (Lab Corp) is reliable and is the one recommended by Mercola, though Integrative health doctors will recommend for optimal range much higher than Lab Corp's range.To get vitamin D from the sun one must expose 40% of their body, according to Mercola, and the shadow of the person should be shorter than the body of the person. Things like weight affect ones ability to make vitamin D. Older people frequently have to take more vitamin D in order to have a higher range. One can make vitamin D all year long when you live at 30 degrees latitude or less (Jacksonville, FL is at 30 degrees latitude.)However, if you bathe immediately after being in the sunlight, you will wash off the vitamin D production on your skin.The Vitamin D Council has reliable information on Vitamin D.
