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 |
Thanks for a fast response, nice to know I wasted time, money and pain on the stupid Ergo pill. Good thing I didn't pay to much for it. I ordered Jarrow Formulas Vitamin D3, 5000IU, 100 Softgels from Amazon so I'm going to start taking those. I already take the Jarrows Methyl B12 Lozenges for my B12 defciency and I like those so we shall see.
