Diane.,
A growing number of researchers who have widely studied Vitamin D3 are almost begging the general public to consume more of this important nutrient. Due to Vitamin D3’s high safety profile in doses up to 10,000 IU per day and because of the wide role it plays in our health, consuming 2,000 to 4,000 IU per day of this nutrient at times of the year when sunlight is scarce is a prudent way to improve overall health. I would suggest you consider Vit. D3 not just plain V D. It will serve your bones, breast health, immunity, (vit. D3 regulates T cells) which are important to support a strong immune system.

Also, COQ 10 is another important vit. for heart health.
I believe if you search on the site you will find get detailed information on what some are taking.

Best wishes,
Jean
