Advice & Tips
I have continued taking Vitamin D3 my dosage varies from 10,000 to 15,000 I U depending on my activity that day. It seems to give me a boost. Having bottles all over the house reminds me to take my dose. Unexpected benefit was more restful sleep. I have my levels checked every 6 months and they are usually between 97 and 74. It is inexpensive and has helped me with my energy level.

Advice & Tips
I loved this pill when I first took it. The original start was a weekly pill. My level was 23 and after 6 months I am only at 32. However I know the difference from then to now. My actual prescribed way of taking Vit D now is 50,000 iu monthly and 400iu in the AM and 400iu in the eveing everyday. So in total every month assuming my math is correct is 72,400iu every month.
