I will chime in under this thread although I posted this in another thread as well.

Last year's Vit. D level was a low 32. I increased my Vit D3 to 4000 i.u. a day. I take a 2000 i.u. supplement with breakfast and a 2000 i.u. supplement with supper at night. Also, like Flori....I am out in the sun A LOT (when there is sun and warmth and I live in Wisconsin so that's not saying much) I powerwalk/jog 4 - 6 miles a day all Spring/Summer/Fall and even into winter until it gets too cold/icy/snowy....anyway, I had my Vit. D. level checked a few weeks ago and had it up to a healthy 62. I was pleased with that level although my internist thought I could possibly decrease the amount of D3 I took (I won't).

I am having my first Dexa Bone Density scan next year and both me and my internist are anxious to see if I have nice thick bones as a result of these wonderful D3 results.

Happy Sunshine all.....
