Vitamin D3 in a New Bottle

Last year around this time I was sitting in a lecture by guest speaker Dr. Mayer Eisenstein. Our clinic had invited him to Minnesota to give a lecture about Vaccines. I remember him being a very pleasant man with a lot to say.
As he discussed vaccines he brought up a very important vitamin. Vitamin D3. It is something that we get naturally from sunlight. The problem though is that most of us are not outside bathing in the sun anymore, we are spending our time inside. It helps with our immune system and when you are sick you should be getting in more Vitamin D3.

What was recommended is that if you are ill you should be taking in 1,000 IU for every pound you weigh. Example if I weight 150 lbs, which I don't, I should be taking 150,000 IU. The company that Dr. Mayer Eisenstein has offers it in 50,000 IU pills, Home First. We do carry these in our office.

The other one we carry in our office is the Maximized Living Vitamin D3. In a few weeks we will be carrying a newer version of the Maximized Living Vitamin D3. It is the same price but what is the difference? First of all the quantity is the first thing that I noticed.
Our original bottle has 100 capsules while the new one has 33 capsules. So what are the benefits of these new bottles? The new bottle now not only has the 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 but also they have added "1 Billion CFU of powerful probiotics with an organic whole fruit and vegetable blend."
