Working well to keep my Vit D level up. Container does not leak like the other brand I bought

I’ve been using this for years to help with vitamin D especially in the winter.

I use this every day. I keep it by the bed and use a drop each morning when I wake up. It has a pleasant taste and it’s one less pill I have to swallow!!

5000 IU is more than is recommended by some authorities. But when I'm exposed to people with colds, or if the Flu-map shows that there's widespread infection in my region, or if I'm getting a scratchy throat or something, I take multiple drops. And there are a bunch of problems that interfere with absorption -- like being over 50 years old, so taking more than a couple of thousand IU seems like a good thing, anyway.The small print on the bottle says "Shake Well First." Recommend you don't forget.There's no eye-dropper. Built in to the top of the bottle is a plastic dispenser. I keep the bottle in the fridge, which thickens the oil and makes it difficult for any drops to come out. But applying warm water to the bottle is all it takes to get it flowing more quickly. Just warm the bottle, then shake the bottle well, take off the cover, turn the bottle over, and the drops come out one by one, the warmer the faster. I use a teaspoon to catch the drops.I read that Vitamin D is fat- oil-soluble, therefore for best absorption, take with dietary fats and/or oils. I chase down my drops with a teaspoon of cold pressed coconut oil. However, the carrier for this Vitamin D is an oil, so maybe it's not necessary to add any additional oil to the regimen.The taste is mildly citrusy, very mild flavor of lemons and oranges, no problem for the taste buds.I've had big pills with much less D in them, like 400 IU. Hard to imagine one drop of this contains 5000 IU.

A few days ago, I became very sick and was taken to the ER; I had acute renal failure. Many tests were done, and repeated, to find what cause the kidneys my fail. My levels of vitamin D were extremely high, toxic levels high.The toxicity caused my kidneys to fail.Symptoms developed over a period of three months, I believe. I don't know why when I bought the second bottle, and started taking it, symptoms started to develop. We couldn't find the cause, until I insisted my doctor to check vitamin D levels. By then I was already very sick, but thought it was stomach flu; next thing was the ER.Perhaps the fact that the bottle doesn't have a dropper caused me to take more than one drop. Perhaps the bottle I bought had higher doses. I don't know, all I know that it caused my kidneys to fail, and now the recovery will take months.I will contact the maker to let them know of this, perhaps they will consider a dropper for this bottle.
