Howdy, I take 5,000 units of D3 even in the summer time in Phoenix. At work I'm in and out of the air conditioning all day long and this way I do not get the summer sniffles, dry nose as bad.

I take 5000 i.u. D3 per day in addition to smaller amounts in my multivitamin. I take none on summer days when I can get 20-30 minutes in the Arizona sun. I have seen some recommendations for levels as high as 100, especially if you're dealing with a serious health concern like fending off cancer.

I was so sure it would be high that I almost didn't request one. Since last fall I've been taking at least 1,000 units D3 plus the D3 in my multivitamin and calcium pills. When the day is warm enough, I go out with a jacket and shorts to get some sun. It's been a very cold winter for here, though. I'd gotten my level up two years ago from 14 in February to a near ideal 55 in the summer by taking 2,000 units D3 and then lying in the sun 20 minutes two or three times a week as soon as weather allowed. Have any of you had the vitamin D blood test? I've heard that in the north in the winter, even if you lie outside naked at noon, you can't get any vitamin D because of the angle of the sun.
