A member asked:

Taking 2000iu /day vitamin d is it too much ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, that's typical: Adults typically can take 1000 to 4000 units a day of vitamin d, so 2000iu per day sounds fine. If blood levels are still low, one can take more. Of course, if levels are high, then one should take less. Only certain people need to have levels checked.
