Depending on your age, your body weight, your skin type the latitude at which you live, and many other factors your dose of vitamin D will vary. That is why I offer an at-home vitamin D blood test and why I do blood tests on every one of my patients. For those people without a blood test, I recommend 2000 IU of vitamin D a day, until they can see what the blood test shows and then they can take the appropriate dose, as I outlined in my book to normalize and optimize their levels. There are those on the Internet who would recommend that without a blood test you take 5000 IU a day of vitamin D but as a physician working with vitamin D every day I do not recommend that high dose without appropriate blood testing.
