I follow the Vitamin D council recommendations.

This is their focus, it's a lot of qualified people, and I don't listen to the FUD.

It's being marketed as the healthy alternative to those unhealthy fish oil supplements. Unbelievable, as the commercial is designed to prey on seniors who have high triglycerides and heart concerns. The commercial can be played on their website.



Yes, that's it!!
Yes and it's marketed to seniors to create doubt, telling them that fish oil is not approved by FDA. I say good that it's not approved by FDA because I don't want their drugs.

Exactly. Supplements are not test nor approved by the FDA like prescription drugs are. This is purposely misleading to sew doubts about substituting fish oil supplements for this concoction without mentioning that even the highest quality supplements are not tested or approved by the FDA by policy, not due to unacceptable standards.
