Jarrow Formulas Vitamin D3 5,000 IU, 100 Softgels

Jarrow Formulas Vitamin D3 supplies 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of cholecalciferol per softgel in an olive-oil base. This maximum-strength option comes in a single bottle of 100 softgels and is intended for healthcare-professional-directed use, not an automatic addition to every daily supplement routine.

5,000 IU equals 125 mcg of vitamin D3

The manufacturer's Supplement Facts list one softgel per serving, providing 125 mcg (5,000 IU) vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol, or 625% Daily Value. The mcg and IU figures describe the same vitamin D amount, not two separate ingredients.

Compare the amount per softgel when choosing among vitamin D strengths, and include vitamin D already present in multivitamins or other supplements when reviewing your routine with a healthcare professional.

Olive-oil base and bovine-gelatin softgel

The manufacturer lists olive oil and a softgel made from bovine gelatin, glycerin and water as other ingredients. This is not a vegetarian or vegan capsule.

The saved bottle image confirms 125 mcg (5,000 IU), 100 softgels and gluten-free labeling. The manufacturer also lists no wheat, gluten, soybeans, dairy, egg, fish/shellfish, peanuts/tree nuts or sesame. Check the current bottle for complete ingredients and allergen statements.

Professional-directed use with a fat-containing meal

The manufacturer's suggested use is for adults to take one softgel once daily with a fat-containing meal, or as directed by a qualified healthcare professional. Its warning specifies use only as directed by your healthcare professional.

This strength is designed for short-term use by people with higher vitamin D needs and/or deficiency, as determined by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the suggested use or take it with other vitamin D supplements. A 100-softgel bottle is not a recommendation for an uninterrupted 100-day course.

Important warnings and storage

Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant, nursing, under 18, taking medication or managing a medical condition, especially liver disease, kidney stones or dysfunction, bone or heart disease, hyperparathyroidism, hypercalcemia, lymphoma or sarcoidosis.

The manufacturer warns that too much vitamin D can cause persistent nausea, dizziness, vomiting, drowsiness and pain. Discontinue use if adverse reactions occur. Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place. Read the current bottle's full directions and warnings before use.
