What is the cheapest NSF certified vitamin D3?
Our picks, by labeled strength, with a link to buy them: see where to buy. A strength with nothing certified at it has no pick, and is not listed there.
At 5,000 IU, the cheapest is BulkSupplements.com Vitamin D3 5,000 IU Softgels (500 count), at 1.08¢ before delivery. At 2,000 IU, the cheapest is Core Med Science Vitamin D3 2,000 IU + K2 100 mcg (60 capsules), at 14.2¢ before delivery.
6 of the 52 vitamin D3 products we track have their exact package named in NSF's Certified for Sport database. That is a stricter test than “the brand is NSF certified”, and it is deliberately so: NSF lists package sizes against each certificate, and a size it does not name is not one it has stood behind. Each price is delivered where the retailer publishes a delivery rate and before delivery where it does not, and each row says which. This page counts NSF's Certified for Sport database only, because its listings name the package size, which lets us check the exact package on sale. Informed Sport and Informed Choice certify tested batches instead, a different way of answering the question rather than a lesser one.

Listed, but at another package
NSF lists these products, and the listing names a package other than the one we price. Very likely the same formula; not a package NSF has put its name to.
- BulkSupplements.com Vitamin D3 5,000 IU Softgels (365 count) (1.37¢ per 1,000 IU, before delivery)
Cheapest among the 6 certified vitamin D3 packages we have checked, not the cheapest that exists. NSF certifies vitamin D3 from more brands than we carry, and our catalog is extended brand by brand, so a certified product we have not added yet cannot appear here however cheap it is.

Where to buy: the picks, by labeled strength
The pick is the cheapest certified product, at the exact package sold where the certifier names packages, with no adverse finding on record, a price its retailer let us read recently, and no more than a year’s supply at the label’s serving; per delivered dose where the retailer publishes a delivery rate. Where none does, it is the cheapest such product before delivery, and it says how far the order is from free delivery. It is the same pick the category page shows.

What this rests on: prices we last recorded at the retailer named on each product page, which go stale, and each page says when it was checked; the products we track, not every product sold, and Amazon and Walmart are not among the stores; listings and labels read at the source, each linked from the page.
