A template (that is US-centric) for recording the nutritional value of foods. SI units must be inserted manually with a {{nbsp}} between the unit and the value. (g = grams, μg = micrograms, IU = international units). Percentage daily value (%DV) are roughly. estimated using US recommendations for adults from the USDA.

Multivitamins nutrition facts label showing that the international unit of, for example, vitamins D and E correspond to different gram values. In pharmacology, the international unit (IU) is a unit of measurement for the effect or biological activity of a substance, for the purpose of easier comparison across similar forms of substances.
Serum 25(OH)D concentration is used as a biomarker for vitamin D deficiency. Units of measurement are either ng/mL or nmol/L, with one ng/mL equal to 2.5 nmol/L. There is not a consensus on defining vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency, sufficiency, or optimal for all aspects of health. [20]
The ISMP recommends the non-SI symbol mcg instead. [1] However, the abbreviation mcg is also the symbol for an obsolete centimetre–gram–second system of units unit of measure known as millicentigram, which is equal to 10 μg. Gamma (symbol: γ) is a deprecated non-SI unit of mass equal to 1 μg. [2]
DRIs are established for elements, vitamins, and macronutrients. Common elemental [17] and vitamin [18] doses are measured in milligrams per day (mg/d) or micrograms per day (μg/d). Common macronutrient [19] doses are in grams per day (g/d). Recommended doses for all three are established by both gender and age.

In the U.S. and Canada, the Reference Daily Intake (RDI) is used in nutrition labeling on food and dietary supplement products to indicate the daily intake level of a nutrient that is considered to be sufficient to meet the requirements of 97–98% of healthy individuals in every demographic in the United States.
Vitamin D deficiency is typically diagnosed by measuring the concentration of the 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the blood, which is the most accurate measure of stores of vitamin D in the body. [1] [7] [2] One nanogram per millilitre (1 ng/mL) is equivalent to 2.5 nanomoles per litre (2.5 nmol/L). Severe deficiency: < 12 ng/mL = < 30 nmol/L [2]
