Vitamin D3: 1000 IU explained
How a 1000 IU product differs from the usual UK 400 IU recommendation.
A 1000 IU vitamin D3 product contains 25 micrograms. The NHS general autumn and winter recommendation is to consider 10 micrograms (400 IU) daily. A higher product strength is not the standard recommendation; individual advice may differ. Check your total intake across supplements with a pharmacist.
