I've been reading up on vitamin D the past couple of days since someone said being deficient, which I am, might be a bigger problem than I thought.
But there are lots of places with crazy different standards for the amount you should take. I've seen one place say 600 IU daily and another say 6000 IU daily.
So how much do I take?
Dude, just stand in the sun 10 minutes a day and you'll be fine
Whats your ancestry? Depending how northward you are from there you need to match your dose to.
Basically you can take as much as you want, it's one of the few vitamins that doesn't really have a hard limit, just take like 1000 and see how that works, I know people who take obscene amounts of it but I dunno if that's ever a safe idea even though apparently you can

I'm black and don't really get much sun I admit.
When I went for a blood test a couple years back before entering college, the results came back and said everything was fine except I needed more vitamin D apparently. But that's all I heard, I didn't get a specific number or anything so I don't know exactly how much I would need. I took some multivitamin that had vitamin D in it for a little while after I got the results but it didn't really last too long.

I take 4000IU any day I don't expect to be outside. I've noticed a reduction in the side effects which I suffer (primarily muscle and bone aches) and have not noted any negative side effects from the dosage I'm taking. Haven't done any extensive reading up, but I think you have to take quite a large quantity of vitamin D to actually suffer from it.

Ask your doctor at your next physical.
My doctor recommends me to take 2000 iu
upper limit is 2000iu
vitamin d at too high serum levels starts to calcify arteries

I had my blood tested while working from sun up to sun down at a lake (for the past 3 months) and was told that I was severely vitamin D deficient. Getting sunlight is important; I'm not disagreeing, but for some people it takes more than that. The vitamin is so damn expensive, but I take it.

Expensive? Where do you live?

PFFFFFFFFAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
>The vitamin is so damn expensive
It literally costs $2.5 for 50 gel capsules.
10.000 iu every day. Toxicity happens on 5 times bigger doses. It will cost you 10-20$ for a month.

Go outside and get some sun on your skin. I'm talking your actual skin, not on the relationship repellent black trenchcoat and fedora you wear.
