This is hands-down one of my favorite finds, and favorite products. I found Wellesse Vitamin D last year at Costco and have been a die-hard believer since! (I have also seen it at our local Walgreens.)
It is estimated that 70% of all Americans (kids too) are deficient in Vitamin D. Vitamin D is crucial to our being. Experts believe we need around 1,000 units of vitamin D a day.
Dr. Oz has said that “Vitamin D is critically important for preventing cancer and critically important for reducing heart problems. It’s linked to multiple sclerosis, to juvenile diabetes. It’s one of the best ways of reducing infection rates. It’s got a ton of things that it does for you to make your immune system function the way you want to function.”
There are also studies showing Vitamin D deficiency is linked to depression, osteoporosis, and many other chronic conditions.
You can get Vitamin D naturally through sunlight, you need about 10 minutes a day of direct sunlight, but if you live in the Northern portion of the USA this might be near impossible. I know in Seattle it is not even a consideration. So if you are not taking a Vitamin D supplement you are probably deficient. A simple blood test can tell you your Vitamin D levels.
Many multivitamins have vitamin D2 not vitamin D3 - which is the preferred & recommended form, and found in this product. Wellesse is clear and tastes GREAT! I just add it to my water bottle in the morning. For the kids I put it in their water or juice. It has a yummy berry taste and in no way taste like medicine! Just 2 teaspoons (how easy is that) does the trick!
Here is the 411 on Wellesse
I haven’t tried the Wellesse Calcium & Vitamin D3 liquid yet but my guess would be this is a sure thing too!
