How is this better or different from the Carlson Vit D3 drops?

The only way I see these drops as "better" is that the oil added is pure coconut oil (as opposed to a combo of coconut & palm which is in the Carlson drops). Personally, I believe coconut to be an healthier option.

Vitamin K2 in the butter helps you make the most of the vitamin D in the cod liver oil. Not sure why they charge so much more.

Lol, that's a good question. I really don't know the difference; the bottle says Vitamin D-3 5,000 IU. I think the health food store could answer that better. I take this Vitamin because my doctor prescripted it due to my Vitamin D deficiency

I have tried Marine D3 twice ( ordered 2 bottles) and have seen no results. I ordered 2 bottles because the web site says it needs about 30 days to work. Well it did not make a difference after 60 days for me! Read the label the 2 main ingredients EPA & D3 are very low with this product. My wife's blood pressure used to be near 200/83 came down in 2 weeks using high Omega 3 (635 EPA for 2 capsules) and a Bottle of D3 (2000) units per tablet. plus light exercise & 1 garlic clove cooked into her meals or 1 high potency garlic tablet when the clove was not coked into her meals. it is now about 153 over 85 and slowly improving. I saw no Improvements with Marine D3. I have a heart monitor to check my wife's blood pressure.

I have not tried Carlson's personally, but this fish oil doesn't taste bad at all in my opinion. It is high quality, so you don't need to take multiple tablespoons full to get your daily dose.

I have talked with the tech support on the phone and was told that all the formulas are same in terms of active ingredients, they are just labeled differently for different uses. Some people/contexts need specifically labeled products. There are differences in thickness in some of the products. There is the spray which is pure liquid, the hydrogel which is a light gel, the opthalmalgic formula which is extremely thick (and hurts like HECK in the eye, much prefer the hydrogel or liquid for the eye). Those are the ones I know. There is another question here about which formula is best for what, and that is a very valuable discussion, many of the answers contain valuable animal care insights. What I don't know is if the "Hot Spot" formula is the pure liquid or the gel (in terms of getting what they consider to be the best thickness for that use). You could call their Tech Support and ask them-- they were very friendly to me. But yes, the 16oz is the best deal and has the trigger sprayer which is so much easier to operate, especially when your hands are slippery. I also use this product on myself, they make a whole line for human use but it is ALL the same thing.

I never compared the two vitamins. Since I am over 40 this is what I ordered as a referral from a friend. The Mega Food uses a Slo-Food Process which the body recognizes as a whole food. I feel great with it and love how the Vit C on the label says from oranges! Good luck on your quest for great health. Please note that it is probably due to the fact that this product as iodine in it that helped with the friend having the thyroid issue.

I don't know the exact differences, but their customer service is top notch and can give you the technical details ... support@joyandkarma.comThis product is much thicker in consistency than the Vitamin C one, and I like that I don't have to worry about it dripping off my face so quickly. You can use both products together, but I think they probably work the same if you only want to buy one product.

They are tiny softgels. I am now using Doctor's Best Vitamin D3, 5,000 units, partially because their other ingredients are "extra virgin olive oil, softgel capsule is gelatin, glycerine, purified water." Label also says the D3 is from lanolin, which is supposed to be a good source, and the product is GMO free, and gluten-free. I'd drop one of these into a smoothie. It is around, but I think I got mine from Swanson's online. I just noticed in all caps "CONTAINS NOTHING OTHER THAN LISTED INGREDIENTS."

The Ultra has a higher viscosity ("thicker"). I find it much more soothing, and don't have to apply it as often. There's also an Ultra gel drop that is even "thicker" and really great when the air is really dry, or indoor heat or air is blowing. Nice to have options to choose from! Btw, my ophthalmologist recommended Systane Ultra, and my eyes feel much better.

Yes. Carlson is the best of all the Omega 3 fish oil products. Their Liquid Omega 3 in the glass bottle is even better!!

Jo, to cut a long story short, D3 is better than D2. You can look at the Vitamin D Council website for oodles of information about this and other aspects of vitamin D.

This product has more ingredients and penitrates the hair faster, in my opinion. Neither is better, but I do preferr organic coconut oil. It has a lighter acent and I can use it on my hair, face and body. Both are good, but Vitka has a strong scent and is hard to get out the bottle. The acent is ok, but can be overpower if you wear perfume or lotion.

I'm sorry I don't really know the difference unless derived from a food source. I researched as best one can on the internet and really enjoyed J.Crow's website and that made me decide to get the Lugol's solution of this brand. The price and shipping was better than I could get locally. It is almost time again to purchase a bottle, it certainly lasted since I only take 2-3 drops in my orange juice each morning. Did it make a difference? that is debatable since I am still testing at the same levels, and my Synthroid rx dosage has not changed. http://www.jcrows.com/msds2.pdf

If you go to the Carlson Labs website it describes that the children fish oil 'has 800 mg of Omega -3 Fatty Acids per each 1/2 teaspoonful' and that is Vitamin A & D free. The Carlson oil I use (adults) states it has 1,600 mg of Omega per teaspoon . . . And has Vit E. I have a 7 year old boy and I give him half a teaspoon/day. I don't think that there is much difference but it might be worth for you to contact Carlson directly. Good luck!
