TO PREFACE: I am NOT looking for medical advice, I am just curious to see how much D3 folks in Seattle are normally consuming.
I did my first annual after 4 years (I know) and my doc told me that my Vitamin D3 levels were extremely low, and to take 5000 units daily. I took that at face value and started consuming that much for the past month. My parents (not medical experts) told me that they heard 4000 is the recommended maximum and are concerned. I have a second opinion scheduled, but I’m curious how many units those who need Vitamin D supplements take? And is it year round or tapered during the summer season?
