MegaFood Vitamin D3 5000 IU (125 mcg) is a vitamin supplement containing two ingredients. While the product name highlights Vitamin D3, the formulation includes Vitamin K at 80mcg, which research suggests is a clinically relevant dosage. However, the primary ingredient, Vitamin D3 at 125mcg (5000 IU), is noted as underdosed in our analysis, which may be unexpected given its prominence in the product name. This product received an N+ Score of 50, earning an F grade, placing it in the below-average tier. Despite 100% label transparency, the low ingredient adequacy (25%) and formula completeness (50%) scores indicate potential areas for improvement in its overall formulation. This supplement might be considered by those specifically looking for a D3 and K combination, but the D3 dosage should be reviewed for individual needs.
