Vitamins and supplements
How do I read vitamin D amounts on a label?
Check the units and the tablets, drops or capsules in the recommended serving. The amount per individual unit can differ from the daily serving.
Labels may use micrograms or international units. Compare matching units and servings; ask a pharmacist to check calculations if uncertain.
Do not choose a dosage simply for a higher number, and consider vitamin D in other supplements. Discuss individual need and use with a professional.
