A member asked:

How many doses can be used patient have deficiency of vitamin d3 (8.5) if normal (30-100); please?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

50,000 U Weekly: With low levels of vitamin d one may have to take mega-doses of vitamin d for about 3 months to bring the level up; then one can maintain it with 1000-2000 units daily. Eating vitamin d rich foods and also sun exposure (at least 15 minutes daily with 75% of the body exposed).
