Get your newest results, drop the RX D2, and use instead D3
(many places sell it--NOW brand and Puritan's are very inexpensive)
1000IU for every 10 pts you need to raise. If you are overweight, the fat on your body will take up some of it as well, so you might need to increase that 1000/10 to 1500/10pts or more. It takes about 3 months to show any changes with D supplements. So it is not a quick result.

D2 is not active in humans. It is very old, and back then no one knew that.

D3 is the active form, just like you get from the sun.
damn my memory is so bad. i was at walmart and didnt buy the d3 formula because i thought you guys said i needed D2.
