Why 25 mcg of Vitamin D3 Is Not a Blood Level: MYOBALAN Label
What does 25 mcg of vitamin D3 on a label tell you, and what doesn't it?
Using MYOBALAN's three-capsule daily serving as the example, this video separates three vitamin D numbers: the label intake, the 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood marker and the active form, calcitriol. It also shows why 25 mcg equals 1,000 IU, what 500% NRV compares, and how EFSA's adult upper level of 100 mcg a day counts food and every supplement together.
