  • How did you come up with these ratios?
    • There's an extra "buffer" in each bottle to make sure we aren't short changing you:
      • 2.3% buffer in the ~1,000 IU/drop bottle
      • 1.5% buffer in the ~10,000 IU/drop bottle
      • Why 2.3% in the ~1,000 IU/drop bottle? Our scale's resolution is in milligrams, and it's quite difficult to weigh anything under 1 mg.
  • By our drop calcuations, there are ~860 drops of solution in each bottle.
  • However, drop weights and drop counts varies depending on several factors. We use our tested standard average drop weight of 0.0288 grams for the ~1,000 IU/drop version and 0.0296 grams for the ~10,000 IU/drop version. Please see our post regarding drop counts (for VK2 MK-4) for more details.
  • You may only be able to dispense ~850 drops using the dropper, with the remaining left as a film on the glass bottle and dropper (~10 drops). Use a mini scoop to scrape out the rest, or add a bit more EVOO and shake.
