Description
Read these two numbers before the flavor
First: the serving is two gummies, not one. A 50-count bottle is therefore a 25-day supply, not 50 days. At $14.99 that works out to about 60 cents a day — worth knowing before you compare it against a bottle with a one-gummy serving.
Second: 5000 IU is 125 mcg, and that is a high dose. The National Institutes of Health sets the tolerable upper intake level for adults at 4000 IU (100 mcg) per day from supplements. This serving is above that line. Doses in this range are used in practice, but they belong in the “my provider recommended it” category — typically to correct a deficiency confirmed by a blood test — rather than as a general daily habit chosen off the shelf. If you also take a multivitamin, count its vitamin D as well; the limit applies to the total from all supplements.
What the K2 is doing here
Vitamin D increases how much calcium your body absorbs. Vitamin K2 is involved in the proteins that direct where that calcium is deposited. Pairing the two is the reasoning behind the combination.
One interaction is important enough to state plainly: vitamin K affects blood-thinning medication such as warfarin. If you take an anticoagulant, this is a conversation to have with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, not after.
The rest of the label
- 50 gummies, peach flavor, no synthetic dyes
- Chewable — the option when swallowing a softgel is the obstacle
- Vitamin D is fat-soluble; taking it with a meal improves absorption
If IU and mcg keep confusing you, the conversion is here.
