So one caveat, if you're on Coumadin, you should not be taking this because it has vitamin K. All right.

So if you're on a blood thinner, talk to your doctor before starting any supplement.

This has 4,000 international units of vitamin D. It has 1.2, so about 1,200 milligrams of EPA and another 800 milligrams of DHA.

So those are the omega-3 fatty acids.

These are critical.

When we check vitamin D levels in our clinic and when you look across the spectrum in the U.S.,

Most women, the majority, well over 50%.

In our clinic, it's about 80% of menopausal women have low vitamin D levels.

So there is deficiency levels, which is below 30-ish in women.

And then there is optimal, which is somewhere around 60 to 100, where you're not deficient, but you're really optimal firing on all cylinders with nice high vitamin D levels.

You can take up to 4,000 units of vitamin D a day.

without needing to be monitored, okay?

Now, prescription strength vitamin D is about 50,000 IUs a week, okay?

So we're giving you 4,000 IUs a day with this.

I love this.

I love it for heart health.

I love it for inflammation.

And vitamin D is a hormone and it is critical in dozens and dozens of enzymatic processes in our body.

Low vitamin D levels are rampant and they are linked to weight gain, diabetes, dementia, low sleep, cardiovascular disease, all the things.

So if you learn nothing else from this talk today, go get your vitamin D level checked.
