Looked at my multi-vitamin, it's 25mcg (1000 IU). You're saying more would potentially be necessary?

- Alex3917 6y agoIf you're mildly vitamin D deficient, you would probably want to take an additional 1000 IU per day in addition to the 1000 IU in your multivitamin. It's safe for most people to take up to 4000 IU per day, but unless you've been tested and know you're severely deficient then I wouldn't take more than 2000 IU total per day. Then just keep checking your blood pressure over the next 6 weeks and see what happens.
- selykg 6y agoThanks! Appreciate the insight.
- core-questions 6y agoI'm not a doctor. I take ~2000 a day, sometimes 3000 when a third pill falls into my mouth from the bottle. Actual dosage advice would be better from someone who isn't just relaying anecdotes. That said, I would guarantee that you're better off with that 1000 IU than with nothing!
