Vitamin D3 Softgels
Nordic Naturals uses organic extra virgin olive oil as the carrier, which is superior to the seed oils used by most competitors. They are one of the few companies that provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for every single batch, ensuring the dose on the label is exactly what is in the bottle.
Quality & Materials
Cholecalciferol in organic extra virgin olive oil. The softgel is made from bovine gelatin, glycerin, and purified water. Non-GMO verified.
Evidence & Testing
Every batch is third-party tested for purity (heavy metals, microbes) and potency. They consistently pass ConsumerLab.com independent testing with high marks.
Brand Transparency
Users can enter their batch number on the Nordic Naturals website to view the specific COA for their bottle, a rare level of consumer-facing transparency.
Value Assessment
Priced competitively for a premium brand at approximately $0.13 per serving. Excellent balance of high-end sourcing and accessible pricing.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most 'clean' brands still use sunflower or soybean oil; Nordic Naturals' use of olive oil provides better stability and health profile. Their transparency regarding COAs is significantly better than Pure Encapsulations or Now Foods.
