The real new normal is 50 in the blood test. But your 41 is a good level... and it seemed to work for you as well. Why not stay at your dose that gave that level to you?
If you get alot of sun, enough to tan well, in summer, you can cut back then. But in winter I think most people in cold climates could use a good dose daily.

So, just so I understand, if I stay at the 4800IU per day that gave me the level of 41, is the level of 41 about where I would hold steady at? I thought that the vitamin d level would continue to rise if I continued to take 4800IU per day. At that supplement level, all of the aching/nerve pain had dissappeared. Franky, at 2800IU, I didn' t have any problem with that calf either... just about a week and a half after I dropped it to 1800IU, a dull ache returned.
I get almost no sun in summer, I am really white and wear sun block. I just quit smoking and figure that might have added some to my previously low vitamin d level.
Thanks again for your response Mrs. D.
