5000 IU, isn't that a bit overkill? I'm staying on the safe side and taking 1500 IU every day.

- gwern 14y agoNo, I think it's about right; the various studies on cancer and whatnot tend to use a few thousand IU, and my personal circumstances are such that I get very little vitamin D normally. It's possible 10k IU is better, but in any event even very high doses aren't apparently dangerous (look at the acute doses listed in http://www.gwern.net/Nootropics#fn32 http://www.gwern.net/Nootropics#fn32 ).
