Quest Vitamin D3 10000Iu Tablets, 30 Tablets

Quest Vitamin D3 10,000 IU is a high-strength vitamin D supplement in tablet form, providing cholecalciferol, the same form of vitamin D the skin produces from sunlight. This is a considerably higher strength than everyday supplements, which commonly provide 1,000 to 2,000 IU, and it is intended for people whose doctor has advised a higher intake rather than for general daily use.

Vitamin D is fat soluble, which means the body stores it rather than clearing the excess. That is exactly why a strength like this belongs in a conversation with your doctor, and why a blood test is worth having before and during use. Our pharmacist is happy to talk it through.
