Are you using the RX version? If so that is why you are not improving. Cod liver only has 1000IU of D...and it is thought that high A content blocks D utilization. You should be on
D3 capsules by themselves. 1000IU D3 for every 10 points you need to raise, daily. So the Cod Liver oil is only going to help with about 10 units raise if that.
Also there are cofactors needed for good D utilization.

The most significant of these cofactors is magnesium. Most of the people in US are low in this mineral too.
