    How we evaluated it

    How it scores Our rating, metric by metric Good, 4.0 of 5
    1. Ingredients 25% of the rating 5 of 5

      One active, D3 as plant-based cholecalciferol, in organic olive oil with a hypromellose capsule and candelilla wax; nothing else.

    2. Independent testing 35% of the rating 4 of 5

      NSF lists the exact product and five lots and Momentous posts a certificate per lot (heavy metals at or below 0.0033 µg a capsule in all five), but the lab is not named and no one independent has published a test.

    3. Evidence 15% of the rating 4 of 5

      2,000 IU of D3 is inside the guideline range, but the certificates show 2,280 to 2,817 IU and the page promises more than the research supports.

    4. Trust 10% of the rating 3 of 5

      Two 2021 Prop 65 lead notices named Momentous protein powders (withdrawn), and its best-known advisor, Dr. Andrew Huberman, is paid by the brand (he discloses it).

    5. Value 15% of the rating 3 of 5

      $19.99 for 60 capsules is $0.33 a day, about 3 to 13 times the other plain D3 products on this list.

    The rating, 4.0 of 5, is the weighted average of these scores. See how we rank vitamins & minerals and our standard.

    Who tested it What each test found, and who paid for it 2 tests
    • Paid certification NSF Certified for Sport

      Lists “Vitamin D3 2000IU”, Momentous: capsule, 60 count, five lots. Momentous pays for the program. NSF says it verifies label contents, heavy metals and microbes, and 290 banned substances, and audits the factory. It publishes no results. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)

    • Maker’s own test Momentous (lot certificates it publishes; lab not named) April 2026

      All five lots (37700, 37719, 36935, 33030 and 31719): arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury at or below 0.0033 µg per capsule; no Salmonella, E. coli or Staph. aureus; vitamin D3 2,817, 2,628, 2,584, 2,624 and 2,280 IU against a 2,000 IU label. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)

    Who paid, and why it matters
    • Independent The tester took no money from the maker for it: a consumer group, a journalist, a university or a regulator.
    • Paid certification An outside lab or certifier tested or listed it, and the maker paid for that.
    • Maker’s own test A lab report or certificate of analysis the maker commissioned and published.

    A certification is a floor, not a verdict: it checks what its program checks and nothing else. We weigh tests by someone with no stake in the result most.

    What people ask Worries raised online and elsewhere, and what we found 5 questions
    Is Momentous an influencer-sponsored brand?
    Yes in part. Huberman Lab’s own disclosure page (opens in a new tab) says Dr. Huberman is a scientific advisor to Momentous and is paid for it. Momentous’s standard page (opens in a new tab) quotes Dr. Andy Galpin, Dr. Stacy Sims and Dr. Kelly Starrett as expert partners, with no financial terms stated. Humble Growth bought a “significant minority stake” in 2024, per a press release (opens in a new tab). One Reddit post (opens in a new tab) notes that Huberman, Galpin and Chris Williamson recommend and are sponsored by Momentous, and asks whether to trust it. We rely on the certifier listing and the lot data, not the endorsements.
    Has Momentous had lead problems?
    In April 2021 the Environmental Research Center filed two Prop 65 notices (2021-00833 (opens in a new tab), 2021-00911 (opens in a new tab)) alleging lead in Momentous whey and plant protein powders. Both were withdrawn on 13 September 2021. Neither named a vitamin or mineral. We found no FDA recall or warning letter for the brand.
    Is NSF Certified for Sport enough to trust it?
    It is a real check, and the exact product and lots are in NSF’s public listing (opens in a new tab). But Momentous pays for it, and we found no test of it by anyone independent (we checked Mamavation, Labdoor and regulator records; ConsumerLab’s reports are behind a paywall). A Reddit thread (opens in a new tab) from November 2025 asks the same thing.
    Does the capsule really hold 2,000 IU?
    It holds more. The five lot certificates show 2,280 to 2,817 IU. Momentous’s specification is “at least 50 µg”, so an overage is allowed. It stays under the 4,000 IU limit.
    Do vitamin D supplements really contain what the label says?
    Often not. A 2013 JAMA Internal Medicine study (opens in a new tab) bought 55 bottles from 12 makers and found 9 to 146 percent of the labeled vitamin D, with the one USP-verified product generally more accurate (summary (opens in a new tab)). Momentous’s five certificates show amounts above the label, 114 to 141 percent, so this capsule errs on the high side. No one independent has tested it.
    Why we chose it What put it on our list 4 points
    • The label is as short as a vitamin gets: D3 (plant-based cholecalciferol) 50 mcg (2,000 IU) in organic extra virgin olive oil, with a hypromellose capsule and candelilla wax. No flow agents, no fillers, no sweeteners, no colors.
    • NSF’s Certified for Sport database lists “Vitamin D3 2000IU” from Momentous: capsule, 60 count, one capsule a serving, with five lots shown (1000036935, 1000037719, 1000037700, 1000033030 and 10000031719). NSF says that program checks label contents, heavy metals and microbes, and 290 banned substances.
    • Momentous publishes a certificate of analysis PDF for each lot. We opened all five NSF-listed lots (37700, 37719, 36935, 33030 and 31719). In every one, arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury were at or below 0.0033 µg per capsule (the highest was arsenic in lot 37719), and each shows no Salmonella, E. coli or Staph. aureus.
    • 2,000 IU is half the 4,000 IU upper limit for vitamin D and sits in the 1,500 to 2,000 IU range our supplementation guide gives as preferred for most adults.
    Trade-offs What to weigh before you buy 4 points
    • The capsules hold more than the label. The five certificates (Momentous’s own) measured 2,280, 2,584, 2,624, 2,628 and 2,817 IU against 2,000 IU on the label, whose specification is “at least 50 µg”. That is still under the 4,000 IU upper limit, but count it if you also take a multivitamin or other vitamin D.
    • It costs about $20 for 60 capsules, roughly $0.33 a day ($0.25 on a subscription). Costco’s Kirkland softgels cost about $0.03 a day and Nature Made’s about $0.12.
    • We found no independent test of this product. The lot certificates are Momentous’s own documents and none of the five names a lab.
    • Our supplementation guide says vitamin D supplements mainly help people who are deficient. The product page promises bone, muscle, sleep and “overall vitality” benefits, which go further than the research we cite. A 25(OH)D blood test shows whether you are low.
    What to know Details worth knowing first

    Vitamin D3 is the form most people supplement, and our supplementation guide explains the usual doses and why a blood test is worth having. This is a plain 2,000 IU capsule with nothing else active in it, in olive oil so it needs no fatty meal.

    It is on this list because an outside program and the maker’s own paperwork back the label. NSF lists the product and its lots, and Momentous puts a certificate online for each lot. We read all five. Heavy metals were at trace levels, and the vitamin D came out above 2,000 IU every time, by 14 to 41 percent. That is worth knowing, not a reason to avoid it: the dose is still under the 4,000 IU limit.

    Two cautions. Momentous pays for its NSF listing and writes its own certificates, and we found no independent lab test, so this is paid certification plus the maker’s word. And it is not cheap: the same dose costs a few cents a day as a store brand. For what seals can and cannot show, see how to tell if a supplement is pure.

    How Momentous Vitamin D3 2000 IU measures up against our vitamins & minerals criteria
    What we checked What we found
    Third-party tested Verified Listed in NSF’s Certified for Sport database as “Vitamin D3 2000IU”, Momentous: capsule, 60 count, five lots, “vegan” product type. The listing shows no certification date or status. NSF’s own pages say the program covers label contents, heavy metals, microbes and banned substances.
    A certificate of analysis Maker’s claim Momentous’s certificate page links a PDF per lot, including the five NSF-listed lots. We opened all five (37700, 37719, 36935, 33030 and 31719): heavy metals at or below 0.0033 µg per capsule, microbes within limits, and 2,280 to 2,817 IU of D3 per capsule against the 2,000 IU label. These are Momentous’s own documents, and none of the five names a lab.
    The right form Maker’s claim Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), 50 mcg (2,000 IU) per capsule. Momentous says the D3 is plant-based; the certificates call it “vegan vitamin D3”.
    A plain label Maker’s claim One active ingredient. No proprietary blend.
    Disclosed extras Verified Organic extra virgin olive oil, hypromellose (capsule) and candelilla wax. Momentous calls it gluten-free, allergen-free and GMO-free; NSF’s listing shows a gluten-free and GMO-free claim.
    Dose against the upper limit Maker’s claim Label 2,000 IU; Momentous’s certificates show 2,280 to 2,817 IU in five lots. The upper limit for adults is 4,000 IU a day.
    What the labels mean
    • Verified We opened an independent record that confirms it: a certifier’s listing, a regulator’s list or a lab report. It is linked under Sources.
    • Maker’s claim The maker says so on its own page or label. We read it but found no independent record.
    • Not verified We looked and could not confirm it, or the maker does not say. Treat it as unknown.
