Hello Pat, I just completed a round to raise my D levels, and had the test done yesterday. I will find out tonight how well I am doing.
I started at 17, after a month on 2000 IU a day the level rose to 25. At this point my doctor put me on a prescription of 50000 IU for 12 weeks while I continued the 2000 IU a day. I hope I am closer to 50 now.
