Your doctor ONLY recommended 1,000 vitamin D3? First of all, your doctor needs to do 25- hydroxy D test to measure your levels. You could be very deficient. My doctors recommend 4,000 MG a day, taken with a meal containing healthy fats.

My D3 level stays stable around 50, with 3,000 units a day.

My endocrinologist said I should be taking 800 to 1000 units of Vitamin D3 daily and try to get 1200 mg of calcium either in your diet or as a supplement. My Vitamin D level was 46 before I began trying to add more Vitamin D through diet and supplements. I live in Northern Vermont where we don't get much sun but I am outside as much as I can be.
