D2 ergocalciferol does not work. Don't waste your time on it.

Buy OTC D3, which is very inexpensive and take daily instead.

A rough estimate is 1000IU D3 for every 10 pts you need to raise,
from your testing results.

Your lowest goal should be about 50.

Some reading for you:

There are many articles now on the net published by medical journals etc explaining the move away from D2 ergo to OTC D3 cholecalciferol, and here is one example:

There are also topical creams now, to avoid oral completely.
Search Amazon to find them, or iherb.com
