Kitty is correct.
The doctors typically give D2 on RX...called ergocalciferol. This is known now to be useless for raising levels in humans. It comes in only one dose= 50,000 IU D3...called cholecalciferol, is over the counter and the active form of Vit D. You can read more about this here: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/84/4/694.full It is a shame that doctors still don't know this distinction. The general rule is that for dosing based on blood work = 1000IU of D3 daily for every 10 points you need to raise.
