### What is the difference between IU and µg on a vitamin D label?
They are two ways of stating the same amount. 1 µg of vitamin D equals 40 IU, so the 1000 IU in each Pro D3 capsule is 25 µg, and the NHS daily amount of 10 µg is 400 IU.
### Who is a daily vitamin D supplement for?
The NHS advises that everyone should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 µg of vitamin D during autumn and winter. It advises year-round supplements for people who get little sun exposure or have dark skin. Each Pro D3 1000IU capsule contains 25 µg, so check the amount of vitamin D in any other supplements you take.
### How much vitamin D is too much?
The NHS says adults and children aged 11 and over should not take more than 100 µg (4,000 IU) of vitamin D a day from all sources. Taking too much over a long period can cause too much calcium to build up in the body (hypercalcaemia), which can weaken the bones and damage the kidneys and the heart. Take one capsule a day and do not exceed the recommended intake.
### Can I take Pro D3 1000IU capsules while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The manufacturer advises seeking professional advice before using this food supplement if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
