I thought that was a pretty high dose.

Hi Warren,
I have taken prescription D2 50,000iu twice a week for over a year, it's the only way my D level will stay within the range my Neurologist wants. Before the prescription I was taking over-the-counter D3 5000iu once daily and even after a year my D level was deficient.
There is a wealth of information about Vitamin D on the Vitamin -nutrients-herbs and supplement forum:
