I'd ask for a Vit D test at the doctor's. Many people are coming on the various health boards with neuro and pain issues, and testing very low.
I myself take 2000IU daily for a maintenance dose. (I do not take it in summer when I am outside alot).
There are two kinds of Vit D. D3 is the preferred one.
Milk only has 100 IU in 8oz. and it is D2.
New studies have shown no side effects with doses as high as
10,000 IU of D3 daily.

Historically D2 was the only one available for decades, but new D3 is actually very available now OTC and not expensive.
NOW brand makes a nice liquigel..and I'd recommend that over dry tablets to improve absorption.
This new article recommends 400 IU for infants now!
