I just had my labs done a month ago and was told to increase my vitamin d from 2000 iu to 4000 iu. so I guess it depends on what your labs are showing. The dr told me he would adjust my intake if my labs increase but could also increase my intake if they are still decreasing.

Yes, lab are very important to determine YOUR needs.

D3 levels also depend on the amount of sunshine you receive.

I was told 10K was the max for general use of vitamin D3.D3 is important to use bcause the body can use it as it is without any changes to it.. D2 requires changes for the body to utilize.

DH's(hubs) labs have proved...he had been on 5k one day and 10K alternating for 6 months. Dr found out he was on that dose-and checked levels and they were in midline of normal values for that lab...

I started experiencing fatigue, and that was the reason to check the level of Vitamin D (I double-checked the description on CanadaDrugs site). I did a blood test last week and it turned out I was right. I'm also currently taking 4000 iu daily. And I agree that it is essential to do labs to control it.
