Very interesting information. I currently take 2000 IU and thought that would be plenty.

I tended to take it more conservatively at 1,000 originally, but for several years now have been doing 2,000 and even with 2,000 my labs don't get me out of the mid- to high 30's. I hate to even think how low it must have been back when I was diagnosed, since I was only taking a multivitamin and they usually only included 400 until more recently.
