I was told to either take 50,000 iu of vitamin d once a week or 10,000 iu daily for a week. which option is best? should i split daily dosages?

Vit D: Take Vitamin D3. It is superior to D2. Take 5000 iu of D3 daily. 10000 iu is too much. Take 5000 iu daily for one week. Then drop to 2000 iu daily.
