The nutrient most commonly low in anyone who does not get much sun, and taken for bone and immune health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4,000 IU of vitamin D3 in a single capsule. The label prints it as 100 mcg, because that is the unit the FDA now requires — they are the same amount. Both are here so you can compare this with whatever else you are looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you are actually getting, per capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D3\u003c\/strong\u003e (as cholecalciferol) — 100 mcg, which is 4,000 IU (500% of the Daily Value)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4,000 IU is a high daily dose, not a starter dose. It sits right at the tolerable upper intake level set for adults — 4,000 IU a day \u003cem\u003efrom all sources combined\u003c\/em\u003e. That last part is the bit people miss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo before you add this: check your multivitamin, and check any calcium supplement you take. Both routinely contain vitamin D, and the totals add up faster than you would expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want the lower dose, our \u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D with Magnesium\u003c\/strong\u003e is 2,000 IU — half this — and it is the more sensible starting point for most people who are not working from a blood test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD3 (cholecalciferol) is the form your skin makes from sunlight, and it raises blood levels more reliably than D2. That part of the label is doing real work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne capsule daily with 6–8 oz of water, ideally with a meal that contains some fat. 30 capsules — a 30-day supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOther ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGelatin (capsule), brown rice flour. The capsule is gelatin, so this one is not suitable for vegetarians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCautions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is fat-soluble, which means it builds up in the body rather than washing out. Do not stack this with another vitamin D supplement without asking someone qualified first. It also interacts with certain medications, including some blood thinners. If you do not know what your vitamin D level is, a blood test is cheap and takes the guesswork out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep out of the reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you are pregnant, nursing, under 18 or living with a medical condition, speak to your doctor or pharmacist first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eThese statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
