We take them in my family all 7 months of winter. Frozen tundra and all, I need them as well as several evenly spaced vacations to tropical islands! I don't get the vacations, but sometimes I go tanning (like once a month) just to warm up during my Minnesota winters!

The majority of people in the continental US and Canada will be at least somewhat deficient in vitamin D. It took me a year to get my level to the normal range. My internist actually wants my level a bit higher than the bottom of the published normal range due to some other studies that indicate other benefits at somewhat higher levels. I take 2000 IU most days.

I haven't picked up the prescription yet, so I'm not sure how high it will be, but I do know it is once a week dosage. He said if I wanted to go daily, I would have to take over 4000 IU per day. Have you figured out why you aren't absorbing, happytappyfeet? It will be interesting to see if mine comes up in 6th months (retest month.)

At one point I was taking 10 000 IUs daily and after 4 months saw no improvement to my levels. I'm also deficient in B12, even though I eat more than an adequate amount of red meat. Actually I eat a pretty healthy diet of lean meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, and very limited intake of sugars and processed foods of any kind.
