Their advice hasn't been updated for a long time, and is for 400 IU. During Covid, plenty of medics in the media were recommending about 2000 IU, perhaps a bit more.
Studies are emerging, so time will tell I guess.
- andy_ppp 5y agoI saw a paper somewhere implying the more body fat you have the more Vitamin D you need too.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoThis was the dose that my doctor recommends as well. I didn't start taking them until doc said "your vit d levels are pretty low". They wanted to give me some of those megadoses but I just agreed to start supplementing. I took 5000IU daily for about a month and then switched over to 2000 and everything has been normal since.
