Why not 2000? This is still likely too be too low for many, if not most, people but should be safe for those not measuring their levels.

Is that a bad thing? Dr. Davis of track your plaque didn't seem to think so when he was on the Sunday Evening Update if I remember right. He aims to get it over 70 for his patients.

2000iu is too much for some, some people achieve >50mg/dl with only 1000iu ... anything above 1000 can be done with additional supplements.

How much of dry D3 do you absorb anyway ?
I know I don't absorb it very well if I don't take it with fat.

Bill Davis has had a lot of patients on D, and has monitored their levels. He came to the conclusion that the dry formulations just didn't get people's levels up. I think that in order for them to be absorbed, they need to be taken with a lot of fat; probably more than most people were using. I suspect that most people take their once-daily meds in the morning, and breakfast tends to be a low fat meal for most people.How much of dry D3 do you absorb anyway ?

depends if the vitamin D has been coated/encapsulated with/in a lipid carrier or not, and how much fat is present in the meal

So how practical is it to actually do this ?
