to increase your vitamin d3 to at least 50 to 70 you might need 5000 to 7000 iu per day and it takes 3 months for the results to be seen in the blood work.
I take 6000iu liquid vitamin d3 per day and my levels are pretty stable at 53 to 65

The Regenerative Nutrition Web site:
In the past there were reports of toxicity of higher doses. Further investigation has found that most or all of these where for Vitamin D2, ergocalciferol. Vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol is the form natural to the body. And is not toxic, in doses below 10,000 I.U. daily.

I will up my dose and evaluate with a 25-hydroxy vitamin D in three months.
