PS: I think the normal VitD3 RDA is 5ug [or mcg] rather than 50 as stated above. Reports say that the 50ug is safe though http://www.ehow.com/how_5730217_calculate-vitamin-d3-dose.html Best not to overdo this one- evven though many people in northern climes are short of it , particularly in the winter months. Supplementation at above RDA long term is not wise without adequate blood testing for VitD status in the body.
