Thanks for your question, but I do not have an answer. Your doctor needs to monitor your Vitamin D levels against what dosage of Vitamin D you are taking. My doctor was measuring my blood levels of D3 and wanted that to be around 50 (but I don't remember the measurement). When I was taking 1 capsule that had 5000 units of D3, it was not enough to be optimal, and my doctor found that 2 capsules a day were right for me. That will be different for everyone because sun exposure will increase Vitamin D through the skin. Most people in colder northern climates are deficient, and since I protect myself from sun exposure, I am in that category.

Have you discussed this with your doctor?
