Disclosure: I was sent the items pictured for participating in this post. All opinions are mine and not influenced in any way.
We take 5000 mg of D3 from Oct to May and we never get the flu. Research has shown that this is more effective than the flu shot which we do not do. It is so easy to take those little softgels daily and I get the Sundown ones for very little at Publix.
I never do a flu shot either !
