Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — research and health-authorities often cite 1,000-2,000 IU/day as a safe, effective maintenance dose for adults to keep vitamin D levels in a healthy range.
Softgels are oil-based, which helps with absorption since vitamin D is fat-soluble. They also tend to be easier to swallow and gentler on the stomach than larger tablets or dry capsules.
At one softgel per day, it lasts for approximately 12 months — meaning a full year of daily vitamin D support from one bottle, which can be more cost-effective and convenient.
Someone might choose a higher strength if: • their vitamin D blood test shows deficiency, • they have very limited sunlight exposure (e.g. indoors, high latitude, covered skin), or • they have increased requirements (due to obesity, certain medical conditions).
Signs include fewer winter colds, more regular mood or energy, less muscle aches. For most people, a review after 3–4 months (possibly via blood test) helps confirm vitamin D levels and whether to adjust dose.
