“Most Americans get too little vitamin D which is needed to increase calcium absorption and regulate bone production. Adults need 200 IUs daily, 400 IUs after age 50, and 600 IUs after 70.”

Follow the advice of the Diagnosticians and US recommended daily allowances  one may remain woefully low in vitamin D. Many who have tested said in the lack of sunshine their  vitamin D was low and was dropping on 2000 IU a day. I was able to get it up to 50ng/ml with 5000 IU a day. The only way to know if you are getting enough D is to get a 25(OH)D test. You can order your own vitamin D test through www.grassrootshealth.net

The recommended munbers will not be corrected fast enough to help us now.  We will need to think four our selves and increase our levels but a test after a few months of supplementing is a good idea just to see where you sit.  Dr. Mercola’s says it is not necessary to check if  you have not been taking supplements and you are the average on the computer and in the office worker. You are deficient. so save the money by giviing it a few months on at least 2000 IU, then test after three months and see if you are up.

By the way read a few of my milk articles and see that drinking milk and eating dairy products for calcium or vitamin D is a political lie.
