**Vitamin D3** at 5,000 IU per softgel puts you at the top of the clinically studied range (1,000–5,000 IU/day) for supporting bone health, immune function, and mood. The form is cholecalciferol — the D3 form your body produces from sunlight and absorbs far more efficiently than D2. With extra virgin olive oil as the carrier, you're getting a built-in fat source that helps your body absorb this fat-soluble vitamin without needing to time it with a meal.

At this dose, you're well-covered across vitamin D's broad range of roles — from calcium absorption and bone density to immune regulation and muscle function. Deficiency is extremely common, especially if you have limited sun exposure, darker skin, or live at higher latitudes, and 5,000 IU is the dose many practitioners recommend for people with low baseline levels.

This dose sits above the 4,000 IU tolerable upper limit set by health authorities, so it's worth checking your blood levels periodically to confirm you're in the optimal range and not overshooting. A 180-softgel bottle gives you a six-month supply at one per day.
