Comparisons / Healthkart HK Vitals Vitamin D3 vs NOW Foods Vitamin D3 5000 IU
**Verdict: NOW Foods Vitamin D3 wins on value and focus** NOW Foods scores higher overall (6.9/10 vs 6.1/10) primarily due to its exceptional value rating of 9.6 compared to Healthkart's 5.1. At ₹3.71 per serving, NOW costs 66% less than Healthkart's ₹10.83, saving you ₹7.12 daily or approximately ₹2,594 annually. Both products achieve perfect transparency scores (10.0) and near-perfect formula ratings (10.0 vs 9.3). However, they serve different purposes. NOW delivers pure Vitamin D3 at 5000 IU (125mcg actual content, despite label showing 10mcg), making it ideal for targeted D3 supplementation. Healthkart provides a multivitamin approach with 11 ingredients including B-complex, Vitamin C, Zinc, and L-Theanine. The critical difference lies in dosing scores: NOW's 0.1 suggests potential over-supplementation concerns at 5000 IU daily, while Healthkart's 1.0 indicates safer, moderate dosing across multiple nutrients. **Choose NOW Foods** if you specifically need high-dose Vitamin D3 supplementation at minimal cost. **Choose Healthkart** if you want comprehensive daily nutrition with safer D3 levels (400 IU), despite paying nearly 3x more per serving.
