NOW FoodsVitamin D3 5000 IU chewable tablets

Each chewable tablet contains 5000 IU (125 micrograms) of vitamin D3.

IU (International Units) and micrograms (mcg) are two ways to indicate the amount of vitamin D. 1 mcg is equal to 40 IU. This chewable tablet contains 125 mcg, which corresponds to 5000 IU.

A dosage of 125 mcg vitamin D is intended for adults with increased needs, for short-term use, or as advised by a specialist. Consult a doctor if you are unsure whether this product is suitable.

Yes, you can. Because vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, it is stored in the body. Therefore, you don't necessarily have to take it every day. For responsible use in the long term this is recommended (unless advised otherwise).

Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is plant-based and is mainly found in mushrooms. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is of animal origin and found in oily fish and eggs, among others.
