Overview
We keep Supplement Tree Vitamin D 1000IU 365 Vegetarian Tablets on our vitamin d shelf alongside 50 others, and rank it on rating, review volume and live price rather than on the brand. The manufacturer puts it this way: Optimum Dose Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 1000iu supplement. Each bottle contains 365 tablets providing you 12 months supply of Vitamin D in an easy to swallow vegetarian tablet. Because natural food sources of vitamin D are rare, the most effective ways to receive adequate levels are through sunlight exposure and supplements. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. Buyers have it at 4.7 out of 5 from 772 ratings. We work out below what that is worth against everything else on the shelf.

How it compares on the vitamin d shelf
Across the 51 rated vitamin d products we track, the middle of the pack sits at 4.7 out of 5. This one scores 4.7. That sits mid-table. Ratings this close together don't decide anything on their own, so weigh pack size, price per unit and the specifics below instead.
772 people rated it, where the shelf median is 1,800. That's enough for the score to mean something without being the last word on it.
On money, this sits in the bottom third of a shelf running from £3.50 to £29.99, with the midpoint around £8.49. Cheap with a middling rating is a fair trade if the specifics suit you, and it is the usual reason to pick something at this end of the shelf.
