[Cicero]

Patients in the vitamin D group were given 100,000 IUs (international units) of vitamin D in their monthly dose.

I'm not sure what this means. Are they saying that the patients went in once a month and took 100,000 IUs all at once, or that they spread it out over the course of a month, and therefore took about 3,300 IUs a day? The article isn't really clear.

I don't know but that was taken directly from the American Thoracic Society release. The PDF is here.
