I don’t know where they get their facts. Vit A is in UI’s. At 2,000 UI’s mine still reads low. My D3 is 3,000 UIs. It is Not a Micronutrient, it is a full-Fat Vitamin like D is, not a water-solvable Vitamin. Selenium at 200 mcg is a very important one is a Micronutrient.

Maybe they need to READ Earl Mendell’s Vitamin Bible. He breaks every one down.

Oil Vitamins like A, E, and D3 are described in International Units (IU), NOT as UI. Recently this has been confused by also describing in mg. or related measures. I am looking at my Vitamin E bottle of 400 IU, which also now in bigger bold print reads “E-268 mg”. Vitamin D3 will now read 125 ? = 5000 IU, or 25 ? = 1000 IU. The question mark is because I don’t remember which form of grams it might be (smaller than mg, maybe micrograms) but I am too lazy on a Sunday to go find a bottle.

Regarding Vitamin K, the article does not say if it is K or K2 which I have read have quite different finctions. Here I also see mention of MK4 and MK7, and the suggestion they stay available for different periods pf time. So which K does the article recommend to help pancreas, do the authors even tell us? Guess I’ll have to stop being lazy and read the whole article.
