Depends on sun level: Vitamin d deficiency is quite classic in United States, especially areas with cold winters. In people that are overweight it is quite typical. The correct dose depends on you current vitamin d level. You also need to have a parathyroid level checked. Discuss this with your doctor this is who can give you a legitimate recommendation.
