FAQs
Can I take 5000 IU daily without getting tested?
Not recommended. It's always best to get a vitamin D test first so you know your actual level and take the appropriate dose.
When should I reduce to 1000 IU?
When your blood vitamin D level reaches the normal range (40-60 ng/mL), you can drop to a maintenance dose of 1000-2000 IU daily.
Can I take 5000 IU every day long-term?
For therapeutic periods of 3-6 months it's generally safe, but for longer periods it's best done under doctor supervision with regular blood tests.
