At once with food: I hope you're taking 2000 iu ; not 2000 mg which is 80 million iu, a massive overdose. There's no need to take d more than once a day, in fact some people choose to take a large dose once a week. It's better absorbed after food. While 2000 iu/day is adequate, optimal blood levels are 50-80 ; most adults need to take 5-8000 iu/day to achieve that. I advise vit k2 with d see http://bit.Ly/1dc7vna.
