I think, the management of Vit D supplementation should be based on testing results, since everyone might have a different "speed" in raising it, while taking the same dose.... To bring mine to the 80-100 level, about 7 years ago, I was taking even 25k every day - 10k did not do it, I was below 30... Then, when I reached 80, I dropped it to 10k a day for maintenance. But since I take a really good one now (I buy everything only from LEF, and they have a new VitD with VitK formula now - which is VERY important for us, cancer patients - Vit K is so often overlooked!). So, when I tested in Oct this year, it was at 113 - too much, so I stopped until Dec. Tested in Dec, it was 64 after 2 mo not taking it - it drops really fast, as you see. Now I am taking 10k again, until I reach 80-100, and then will be continuing with 5k, because I already know that 10k is too much for maintenance for me. You just have to see your own body reactions, absorption level, etc and do testing every 2-3mo at least until you figure that out.... And please, buy the one with Vit K... and take Vit D always with your biggest meal...
