Packs a Punch at 10k IU!
Up until recently, it's been hard to find good vegan sources of D3. This is a powerful source of veggie D3 that packs double the punch of my usual supplies of vitamin D3. Usually, I find 5,000 IU to be the standard. I've read varying opinions about 5k+, and have heard that the body doesn't absorb larger amounts as well as 2k or smaller. The National Academy of Medicine lists the upper daily limit at 4,000 IU, though doses up to 10,000 IU have been found NOT to cause toxicity in healthy humans. For this reason, I won't be taking daily mega-doses of vitamin D. I will take these capsules once or twice a week in supplement to my daily multivitamin, which contains 100% of my daily supply of vitamin D. I like taking more, especially during the winter, as my health insurance does not approve vitamin D tests in healthy individuals my age.<br /><br />All that said, this is a good quality mushroom-based source of vitamin D3, formulated by a former Cleveland Clinic doctor. Recommended, and long-lasting if one takes once or twice a week as a supplement to daily multivitamins! I'm set for a year or two!
