Vitamin D3 2000 IU Softgels
This is a highly reliable budget option that uses the preferred D3 form and carries the prestigious USP verification for potency and purity. However, it falls short of the gold standard by using soybean and corn oil as carrier lipids instead of high-quality MCT or olive oil, and it lacks Vitamin K2 for optimal calcium transport.
