Is this a NON GMO product? Where is the D3 drops are from? What are the ingredients exactly?

I should begin by saying that the product I purchased was one that existed BEFORE the one whose carton is shown here. Having said that, I think it's safe to say that the vitamin D3, which Carlson specifies as 'cholecalciferol', has not changed. (The newer product has added Vitamin E). It's probably safe to say that the D3 they have sourced is NOT GMO, for I've clipped a blurb from another internet site for you on this substance and its sourcing .. you'll be amazed!..." If it states "cholecalciferol", you may just have a sheep to thank for your health."There are two commercial sources of natural vitamin D3: fish liver oil and an oil extracted from wool. "If a label lists `vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)' then it is from wool oil. This is considered a vegetarian source (the animal is not harmed, just sheared), but not vegan. Fish liver oil will be in parentheses if it is the source." (6) Animals can obtain vitamin D from licking their fur, and in humans, rickets can be successfully treated by rubbing cod liver oil into the skin." You asked what other ingredients might be included in the product? Other than the vitamin D3 (from sheep's wool?) the only other ingredient, ON MY CARTON, is 'fractionated coconut oil'. An online blurb on that topic explains, "Coconut oil has both long-chain and medium-chain fatty acids, but is made up mainly of the medium-chain fatty acids. In fractionated coconut oil, the long-chain fatty acids are removed." Whether that is a good thing .. or a not-so-good thing .. is something you'll have to research in order to make an informed decision.At this point, let me add that MOST companies seem to be downgrading their products in order to maximize profits. Apparently Carlson falls into that group. The carton that is pictured here lists "A medium chain triglyceride oil (coconut and palm oil source) .. and of course the 1 IU of vitamin E.I hope this has been helpful to you in making a decision on this product ..

Is this 4000IU per drop? and how long does it last when taking daily 10000IU ? Thanks!

Yes, it's 4000 per drop. There are about 365 drops per container. We bought ours on Oct 11, use 3 drops every day (2 for me, one for my wife) and haven't run out yet. The bottle will probably last almost exactly 3 months at this rate (for us 'til Jan 11 or so).

Has anyone replaced the plastic dropper insert with a squeezable glass dropper? I would love to try this!

I use a glass dropper. The dropper material doesn't matter, the size of the drop does. Bring both droplets to the pharmacy you use and ask if they are the same size. If not, ask for a glass one that matches. You could try a dropper used for Bach flower essences.
