Quest 5000 IU Vitamin D3 Supplement, 60 Tablets

Quest Vitamin D3 5,000 IU sits between the everyday 1,000 to 2,000 IU supplements and the high-strength 10,000 IU version. It provides cholecalciferol, the form of vitamin D the skin produces from sunlight, in a 60-tablet pack covering two months at one a day.

Vitamin D is stored by the body rather than cleared, so the right strength depends on your own level rather than on a general rule. A simple blood test through your doctor answers that question, and our pharmacist can help you decide which strength fits.
