Laperva Vitamin D3 5000 IU Veggie Capsules, 90 Capsules

Laperva Vitamin D3 provides 5000 IU per capsule in a vegetarian shell, which is worth noting because vitamin D3 supplements are commonly derived from lanolin and packed in gelatin capsules, ruling them out for vegetarians. The 90-capsule pack covers three months at one a day.

This is a higher strength than the 1000 to 2000 IU found in everyday supplements. Vitamin D is stored by the body rather than cleared, so the right strength depends on your own level. A blood test through your doctor answers that better than guesswork.
