Vitamin D is one of those fat soluble vitamins, so what is the maximum dose a person can go up to before it becomes toxic on a daily basis?

This trial is typical of Vit. trials.
Some while back [2 3 years] it was shown that Vit C had no positive effect on colds when taken at the recommended dose of 850 grams a day.
Who would recommend such a small dose when tablets are usually 1000 mg.
The trial authors were honest enough to add as a footnote that if one exceeded the recommended level of 850 mg per day then there was a beneficial effect.

when you go out in the sun for a few minutes 30 to 60 minutes you will get 20,000 iu if you go out side all day you can get as mush as 300,000 iu
if you can not get outside you need to take pills
when you swallow a 400 iu pill your body does not get 400 iu it gets less in your systems
during the winter time many people get depress that is because of no son light out side and you not getting any vitumin D
I have hear doctors say that you shough take 2,ooo iu of D
so when Cristmas is comming and it's overcast feel better and make your bones stronger by taking vitumin D.
PS. they sell vitumin D in 1.000 iu
