Overview

NOW Foods Vitamin D3 2000 IU provides the moderate maintenance dose that many healthcare practitioners recommend as the daily sweet spot — high enough to maintain adequate levels for most adults, but not so high as to require monitoring. Each softgel provides 50mcg (2000 IU) of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol in a base of extra virgin olive oil for enhanced absorption. At 240 softgels for under $12, it provides an 8-month supply at about 4 cents per day.
