International unit this is a unit used to measure many vitamins and drugs. It is a standarized measurement, therefore, what is in the tablet or pill is standard. This is not true for any herbal preparations, which are not standardized.

Even if you mean micrograms (mcg) it would require eight hundred (800) 5000 iu tablets of vitamin D to be 100,000 mcg. 800 5000 iu tablets of vitamin D = 100,000 mcg.
