Check blood levels: We ge t Vit. D mostly from the sun, and those who do not live in the tropics generally can not get D from the sun in the fall and winter months, so during winter get a blood test to check your levels. Normal is 30-100 but I like to see levels of 40-70. Most adults need about 2000 iu/day of Vit D3 in fall and winter months. See https://tinyurl.com/2chkcer
