This **Vitamin D3** delivers 4,000 IU per soft gel — a correction-level dose aimed at raising low blood levels, not everyday maintenance. That puts it right at the 4,000 IU safe upper limit, so it's well-suited if you're deficient or get little sun, but more than most people need for routine upkeep, where 1,000–2,000 IU is plenty.
It's the cholecalciferol (D3) form, which raises and holds blood levels better than D2, and since vitamin D is fat-soluble, taking it with a meal — as the label directs — helps absorption. D3 supports bone strength, immune function, and dental health. At 4,000 IU, it's worth getting your blood levels checked periodically rather than dosing high indefinitely.
cholecalciferol: Supports normal bones; D3 generally raises vitamin D blood levels more than comparable D2 doses.
