Vitamin D And Fish Oil Supplements Mostly Disappoint In Long-Awaited Research Results

Dr. Mercola is a bit of a fear mongerer who also sells these products but here are his thoughts on the studies.

The high dose (prescription) fish oil studies were mainly positive. Always use more than the labels suggest to get the benefits of fish oil. This does make it very expensive though, unfortunately.

As far as Vitamin D supplements go, maybe they aren't as good as we thought, but for $10 a bottle that will last an entire year, I'm going to keep taking it.

My exact thoughts. My vit d supplementation has increased blood levels so I know it's working. I think I paid about $10 for 180 days supply.

All I know is that it took a few weeks for the D3 to finally kick in. Mood slowly lifted. I now take 5000 once a day.

For what it's worth, my cardiologist made a list of what he thinks are the most important heart health supplements the other day: fish oil, coq10, curcumin, magnesium, vitamin d3, vitamin k2, and multivitamin

Did he give you a dosage for each supplement and or a certain brand to take?

I think Dr. Rhonda Patrick feels different about Vitamin D. I will stick with her thoughts.....if curious, look it up on YouTube.

Yea saving $10-15 a year isn't worth risking the notion that Vitamin D3 is ineffective.
