Yes, that is a good level. Mine is 60nmol/L.,with 4,000. I always tell my friends to get the vitamin D3 blood test. Out of 7, three were below the low normal of 30mol/L. They were all told by their doctors to take 800-1,000mg. A male friend had to badger his doctor for 3 years, for the test. He is a large man, who lives in sunny California. His levels were 12mol/L. When he started taking the correct dose for him, his pains in his legs disappeared.

Every person and every situation is different. It may be that 1000 units per day was appropriate. Just like 50,000 units a week was appropriate for my husband for a year, then dropping to a slightly lower dose. My doctor keeps close tabs on mine because it’s low, then it’s too high, then it’s low again.
