A member asked:
How much vitamin d3 should a person take if their lab report is 21ng/ml for 25-hydroxy d3 and that person also have psoriasis? is 5,000 iu enough or too much per day? is there a risk for vitamin d poisoning if taken too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2000/ IU/day: Eat a healthy diet and incorporate dietary sources of Vitamin D3. An intake of 2000 IU/day should be sufficient. Have a repeat test in two months to ensure that you have a normal level. Please follow up though with your PCP.

My Vitamin D level is 19ng/mL the lab reference is 30-100. NIH website says 20ng/mL is adequate, and above 50 has adverse effects, but MD says above 30 is optimal. Do I need to supplement and how much? MD advised 5000 IU/day, I think it's excessive?
