Vitamin D3: Usual dose is not more than 5000 units daily. I take that and my level is right in the middle of the normal range (50) Bear in mind that persons who have had gastric bypass surgery will absorb Vitamin D more readily and can become intoxicated with even 5000 units daily. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
