You should get tested first, to see where you are.

Most doctors will test for Vit D. But they will offer the inferior treatment for it as D2 on RX. Once you have a test number, you
can use OTC D3 yourself to figure a daily dosage safely.

The average is 1000IU D3 for every 10 points you need to raise.
People who are overweight may need more, but this is the basic
dose calculator. Use it and get retested in about 6mons to see where you are.
