NOW Vitamin D3 2000 IU: a daily-strength softgel in olive oil
NOW Vitamin D3 2000 IU High Potency gives 50 mcg of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) per softgel, dissolved in extra virgin olive oil. The bottle holds 120 softgels, four months at one a day, and the label is marked non-GMO. Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus, to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth and muscle function, and to the normal function of the immune system.

NOW Vitamin D3 2000 IU questions
How much vitamin D is in NOW Vitamin D3 2000 IU?
Each softgel gives 50 mcg of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which is 2,000 IU. The bottle holds 120 softgels, four months at one a day.
What is the difference between NOW D3 2,000 IU and 10,000 IU?
Both are NOW vitamin D3 softgels. 2,000 IU (50 mcg) is a daily strength within the 100 mcg (4,000 IU) adult upper level used in Europe; 10,000 IU is a high strength meant for short courses on a doctor’s advice. Most people taking vitamin D every day choose 2,000 IU.
When is the best time to take it?
Take 1 softgel a day with a meal. Vitamin D dissolves in fat, so a meal with some fat helps your body absorb it.
What is the softgel made of?
The vitamin D3 is from lanolin (sheep’s wool) and is dissolved in extra virgin olive oil; the softgel is bovine gelatin, glycerin and water. NOW states it is not made with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg or fish ingredients. It is not suitable for vegetarians.
Who should not take it?
It is for adults only. Don’t combine it with other vitamin D products unless your doctor agrees, and keep it out of reach of children. Food supplements don’t replace a varied diet. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, taking medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first.
