My doctor recommended i take 2,000mg of vitamin d daily. i just bought 25mcg(1,000 iu) per soft gel. how much do i take? or did i buy the wrong one?

2 of the 1000iu: Vit D is generally measured in international units. 2000iu is ok, but really 5000iu would be better, especially since there is a virus around you are trying to avoid getting. Best to get a level 1st as vit D fat soluble , but virtually almost never is someone toxic

Vit D: Most physicians recommend 400-800 units a day, but some also recommend up to 2000 units a day. You could have your serum vitamin D level measured for guidance.
