Vitamin D3 dose

What's the right dose daily for vitamin D? I see D3 has 200mcg per pill, is that right dose?

I think you mean 200iu, right? 200mcg is a crazy high dosage of Vitamin D.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the daily Adequate Intake (AI) for adults is 5 mcg (200 IU) daily for males, female, and pregnant/lactating women under the age of 50. People 50 to 70 years old should get 10 mcg daily (400 IU) daily, and those over 70 should get 15 mcg daily (600 IU).

I personally supplement with 400iu (10mcg) per day. I like to air on the side of caution and use a slightly higher dosage then probably needed. Anything more then that really isn't needed.

Apparently I get quite a bit. Here are my sources and doses:

N2JointRX D3 2,000IU which is 500% DV
Ruthless 3D D 400IU which is 100% DV
N2Guard D 100IU which is 25% DV

When you have blood work performed, have it tested. Most people are significantly low and higher dosages are required to elevate to a normal range. Remember when supplementing with D3 make sure to take with your meal that contains the highest fat for the day.

Apparently I get quite a bit. Here are my sources and doses:

N2JointRX D3 2,000IU which is 500% DV
Ruthless 3D D 400IU which is 100% DV
N2Guard D 100IU which is 25% DV

Not only I consume ruthless and N2guard on daily basis, but during winter I also add 1,000IU of pure vitamin D.

Now that would not be necessary during the warm seasons, but when I see absolutely no sunlight, that cant be too bad.
