Between roughly October and April the sun does not get high enough for skin to synthesise meaningful vitamin D, no matter how long you spend outside. That is not a lifestyle problem, it is geometry, and it is why deficiency is so widespread here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tablet of Quest Vitamin D3 contains 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol — the same form your skin makes and the form the body uses most efficiently, rather than the D2 that appears in some products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D helps in the normal development and maintenance of bones and teeth, and helps in the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus. That absorption role matters more than it sounds: calcium supplementation without adequate vitamin D achieves far less than either does properly paired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne tablet daily, for adults and children.

The dosing covers adults and children, so one bottle works for a household.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1,000 IU is a maintenance dose. If you have had bloodwork showing genuine deficiency, your practitioner may want considerably more for a period.
