NOW Foods Vitamin D-3 1,000 IU Chewable
Description
NOW Vitamin D-3 1,000 IU Chewables is a fruit-flavored, chewable form of vitamin D-3 for adults and children age 4 and up who prefer not to swallow a softgel or capsule. Each 180 count bottle uses a pink, speckled tablet with fruit flavor and other natural flavors.
Each chewable tablet supplies 1,000 IU (25 mcg) of vitamin D-3, 125% of the Daily Value. Vitamin D is normally obtained from diet or produced by the skin from sunlight, but NOW notes it is not abundant in food, which is why supplementation is common.
Chew 1 tablet daily with a meal, and store the bottle in a cool, dry place after opening. The tablets are sweetened with xylitol and sorbitol rather than sugar.
