When that came out a few years ago [1], I began getting my vitamin D tested through my doctor and slowly ramped up my dosage. It went from 28 ng/mL (70nmol/L) [2] to 32-35 ng/mL (80-87.5 nmol.L). In my own physiology, this required 4,000 IU (100 mcg) daily, orally. 2,000 IU was not quite enough.
I'm going to add another 2,000 IU daily to see if I can reach the recommended 100 nmol/L from the OP. [3]

- Florin_Andrei 6y agoNow, there is a difference between "ramping up" levels and maintenance levels, right? It's generally been found that larger doses are required to move the blood levels up, but it doesn't seem like people need to remain at those dosages to maintain those levels.
