My Neurologist says not to count the D3 that is in a multivitamin.

I just bought some d3 1000iu
If you want a total of 2000iu of D3 a day then you will need to take 2 of the 1000iu. If you want 3000iu of D3 a day then you will need to take 3 of the 1000iu.

It is a good idea to re-check your D level about every 6 months.

I have found D3, for me, is difficult to regulate. I started out with my D level @ 16. Started 5000iu and it took about a year and a half to bring my level up to 57.2. It was decided to bring my D3 amount down to 2000iu. Within 4 months my level dropped to 27.2. Upped my D3 to 4000iu and will be getting re-tested within a month.
