Is 1000 IU's of Vitamin D Per Day Enough

I am a 25 year old, wife and mother to an active 14 year old boy! For the past 7+ months, I have suffered from chronic fatigue, weakness, and more recently body pain. My doctor ordered blood tests, and my vitamin D level came back as 18.2 ng/mL. She says that this could be the cause of my severe fatigue and weakness!

I have done a lot of research on Vitamin D deficiencies, and I keep reading about the 'high dose' treatments everyone receives.

However, my doctor simply told me to go buy 1000 IU vitamin D3 supplements and take 1 a day!




I have read your write up about the ineffectiveness of Prescription Vitamin D, however, my question is, will 1000IU of vitamin D3 per day, be even close to enough to bring up my levels up to 'normal'?

Sincerely
Carla
