Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption and normal bone, muscle, and immune function. This single-nutrient softgel is intended to supplement dietary vitamin D rather than supply calcium itself.
Product details
- Product and pack: Nature's Bounty Vitamin D3 125 mcg, 400 Softgels.
- Category: Vitamin D3 dietary supplement.
Choosing this formula
Vitamin D labels use both micrograms and IU: 25 mcg = 1,000 IU; 50 mcg = 2,000 IU; 125 mcg = 5,000 IU. Match the strength to your existing plan before choosing a bottle count.
How to use
Follow the directions on the supplied bottle. Vitamin D is fat soluble and is absorbed best with a meal or snack containing some fat. Count vitamin D already supplied by your multivitamin and calcium products.
Before use
Excess vitamin D can raise blood calcium and harm the kidneys. The usual adult upper limit from all sources is 4,000 IU daily; use a higher strength under professional guidance. Discuss thiazide diuretics, kidney problems, or high calcium with a clinician. Ask a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or when managing a medical condition.
Is the strongest bottle the best choice?
No. The appropriate amount depends on total intake and individual needs. A blood test may help your clinician assess deficiency; bottle size and higher strength do not establish a need for more.
Check the supplied bottle for its complete ingredients, serving size, storage conditions, and expiry date. Keep supplements out of children's reach. Read more about this nutrient from NIH.
