Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a doctor before taking a vitamin D supplement. The FDA advised manufacturers of liquid vitamin D supplements that droppers accompanying these products should be clearly and accurately marked for 400 [[international unit]]s (1{{nbsp}}IU is the biological equivalent of 25{{nbsp}}ng cholecalciferol/ergocalciferol). In addition, for products intended for infants, the FDA recommends the dropper hold no more than 400{{nbsp}}IU. For infants (birth to 12 months), the tolerable upper limit (maximum amount that can be tolerated without harm) is set at 25{{nbsp}}μg/day (1,000{{nbsp}}IU). One thousand micrograms per day in infants has produced toxicity within one month. After being commissioned by the Canadian and American governments, the [[Institute of Medicine]] (IOM) {{as of|2010|11|30|lc=y}}, has increased the tolerable upper limit (UL) to 2,500{{nbsp}}IU per day for ages 1–3 years, 3,000{{nbsp}}IU per day for ages 4–8 years and 4,000{{nbsp}}IU per day for ages 9–71+ years (including pregnant or lactating women).
