What is in Vitamin D 5,000 IU?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 capsule. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D3as Saccharomyces cerevisiae5000 IU | 125 mcg (5,000 IU) | 625% | Higher than 92% of 14,175 products listing vitamin D (median 15 mcg). 1.3 times the adult UL a day. |
| Vitamin K2as Menaquinone-7 | 90 mg | 75% | This amount is far outside what other labels list for vitamin K, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- At 1 serving a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of vitamin D, 1.3 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
