I still think the best way to get Vit D is through sunlight unless you have any dermatological reason that results in imparied absorption or you live in a dark place.

I'll be honest I have not gotten much sun lately and my vit d showd as low. Also I started on birth control pills to control some hormone problems and I o think this has something to do with it too.

I bought some Vit d and decided to only supplement 1000 a day. 50,000 sounds excessive unless monitored by a doc.
