A member asked:

My doctor is having me take 2000 units of vitamin d a day for my deficiency. my multi has 400 units and i took d with 2000. is that too much?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

D 2000: No it is not too much but 1000 mg a day may be enough. Vitamin D 1000 and 2000 are inexpensive over the counter without a prescription.
