Description
NOW Vitamin D-3 2,500 IU Softgels is a higher-potency vitamin D-3 supplement in a highly absorbable liquid softgel, for adults who want a concentrated daily dose in one softgel. This bottle contains 180 softgels.
Each softgel supplies 62.5 mcg (2,500 IU) of vitamin D-3, 313% of the Daily Value. NOW notes that vitamin D is not abundant in food, and supplementation has become more common as people limit sun exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does 2,500 IU compare to NOW's other vitamin D-3 softgels?

Should I take it with food?
Yes, NOW recommends taking it daily with a meal, since vitamin D is fat soluble.
