Upper intake level
Adults, 4,000 IU a day, from food and supplements together. One serving of this product holds 5,000 IU, more than that level on its own.
An upper intake level is the largest daily intake unlikely to cause harm for most people. It is not a limit on treatment. A health care provider might recommend more than this for a period of time, for example to treat a vitamin D deficiency. It is not a recommendation about what to take.

In whole units
1 softgel = 5,000 IU for $0.266
This is the smallest whole number of softgels that holds at least one comparison dose. It is shown as a caveat and is deliberately not used in ranking, because rounding up changes the amount as well as the price.
- One softgel holds 5,000 IU of vitamin D3, 5 times the 1,000 IU comparison dose. Softgels cannot be split.
- Printed as 125 mcg (5000 IU) per veggie softgel on this package's own panel (FG120, "Servings Per Container: 60"). 1 mcg = 40 IU, so the two agree. The panel names the nutrient "Vitamin D (as D3, cholecalciferol) (from lichen)"; cholecalciferol is D3, here from lichen rather than lanolin.

Verification, Tier D: Could not locate independent data
We could not locate independent testing or certification for this product. That is a statement about our search, not about the product. These programs certify what a company submits to them, so a product can be absent simply because it was never entered, which is not a finding against it. Which certifier databases we searched, and when, is listed below. Where a program is not listed there, we have not checked it and do not imply anything either way.
- Searched 4 certifier databases and found no listing for this product, and located no published test results. A program not named below was not checked for this product.
- The testing claim we recorded for this product, with where it appeared: NSF Certified Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified and Certified Vegan (vegan.org) marks, and the checklist line "Third Party Tested" (printed on the label image). It names no program this site grades, so there is no listing to open against it, and it does not raise the verification level.
- Checked NSF Certified for Sport database on Oct 31, 2026: not listed.
- Checked USP Verified database on Sep 21, 2026: not listed.

USP verifies the products a company submits to it, so this records which products were submitted and nothing else. Absence from a database is not a failed test.

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.
