That would mean this lamp emits ultraviolet light and thus dangerous to your eyes. I don't think so.

Sorry, I have no idea if if has increased my vitamn D production. I just find it much easier on the eyes than typical desk lamps. It give plenty of light that does appear more natural. If you need more vitamn D, as I do, just take it in a vitamn form. I found a gummy one that seems to help w/mood.

My endocrinologist advised me to take two pills each month. That is the dose that she takes. If I were you, I'd speak to whomever has told you that you need to take this quantity of Vitamin D. (I hope it's a physician who's done blood work on you.)

I can't answer your question directly, but would recommend this product because after using if for more than five years it has worked unfailingly.

I'm no Doctor or expert, but the short answer to your question is Yes, it's D3 as Cholecalciferol. (Full info below). I take it on advice of doctor as a blood test found me to be a low in D3. FYI, Vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol is produced in skin and is sequentially metabolized by the liver and kidney to the biologically active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3]. It is a seco-steroid hormone that regulates calcium homeostasis within the body. The actions of 1,25(OH)2D3 are modulated through the vitamin D receptor (VDR). VDR belongs to a superfamily of nuclear receptors that transduce hormonal signals from the immediate environment and trans-activate genes in response to these signals. Types of vitamin D available to purchase Supplemental vitamin D is available in 2 distinct forms: ergocalciferol ( vitamin D2 ) and cholecalciferol ( vitamin D3 ). The latter has proven to be the more potent form in all primate species, including humans. Vitamin D3 can also be produced in the skin through exposure to sun. Subsequently, it is metabolized by the liver and kidney to the biologically active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Nature Made Vitamin D-3 Fat soluble Recommended Serving: one gel cap Cost per gel cap: $.12 (using Amazon's cost) Contains soy Contains GMOs Contains cholesterol Not vegetarian Not enteric coated Manufactured in the U.S.A. Ingredients: Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol), gelatin, soybean oil, glycerin, water, and corn oil

I never compared the two vitamins. Since I am over 40 this is what I ordered as a referral from a friend. The Mega Food uses a Slo-Food Process which the body recognizes as a whole food. I feel great with it and love how the Vit C on the label says from oranges! Good luck on your quest for great health. Please note that it is probably due to the fact that this product as iodine in it that helped with the friend having the thyroid issue.

International Units. You really should ask a doctor before taking this. While most people will benefit from taking it, there are some cases where you shouldn't. You need to know how much to take and you really should know what your current Vitamin D level is before starting. This way you can modify the dosage accordingly.

Hi, I highly doubt it does. And when I checked out their website before it didn't state there are any other vitamins or minerals. You will hopefully see results though! But make sure you drink a lot of water while taking biotin, as some people experience breakouts if they don't. Here's the company's # just in case you would like to give them a call (800) 476-3542. They're open 9am-6pm EST. Hope you have great results!Claudia

No - this product cannot stimulate vitamin D production because it does not emit any UV light.

It has been tested by IFOS, the most reputable independent third party lab for omega-3 fish oil in the U.S.A. See my review for a further explanation. RWM

Tim, you may have to look elsewhere online for that info. I will say though, as a vitamin expert this is one of the finest mineral products I have ever used. Still using it. What makes it different is NOT the label, its the QUALITY which imho is superior to other brands.

I really doubt it since 100% pure vitamin D3 would be 40 million IU per gram (less than a spoonfull 40,000,000 IU's) I am looking for the real actual percentage of pure vitamin D3. I am not looking for false assumptions that fly in the face of both math and science! Thanks for your effort.

They said they could supply the proof if you need it.. If they say it and it is not..then that is bad.. I love the product so far..at lunch last week my friends complimented me on the soft smooth skin and glow I had.. Do as I did..Invest in a bottle and try it..If you don't like it...send it back and get a refund.. I was torn between Josie Maran's Argan Oil on QVC..but it is a little more expensive then I can pay on Social Security...Hope this helps.. When I win the Lottery..I will try hers.!!!
