Minimum amounts that only keep some diseases at bay do not provide proper health. Modern knowledge must be incorporated into modern guidelines.

I use this, especially in our sunless winters and require the previously recommended dose as it has worked for me.

My understanding as a female adult, is that, as a woman in today's world,'WE' should ALL consume a quota of 35 iu's of vitamin D per pound of body weight per day .This fact brings me up to a value of 4950 IU's per day, since I weigh 90 lbs.(I am 5' 2'' tall.) My total consumption of vit. D per day is 90x35iu =4950 iu's per day. This amount is my just right requirement for each day. I take vitamin D3 capsules in increments of 2 x1000 ius increment in the am and 3 x1000 increment in the pm.-totalling 5000 iu's per day, which according to my weight, is just the amount my body needs!
