The findings are similar to what we have published during the last year.

One CardioDaily has 2000 IU of vitamin D3 (the more bioavailable form). This is a safe and generally effective way to keep vitamin D levels in normal range for those without profoundly low levels – particularly during the winter months. The typical multivitamin has only about 400 iu, which is generally insufficient to normalize Vit D levels in the typical American.
