Wait, I think I still screwed up my math above. Sheesh!

1000 IU is 25 mcg. That is what I meant to say. So never mind my math above. My point is, he may have meant IU instead of either mcg or mg. I don’t know. IU seems to be the most common unit of measure discussing Vitamin D.

The ones we’ve been taking indicate that they contain 2000 IUs. We take two of those per day - always right after meals containing fat, so that they will be assimilated properly.

(Again, I’m not a doctor. My posts on this thread only represent my own experience, and what my husband and I have been doing for a long time, now. Neither of us has ever been told that we have any medical condition that would preclude any aspect of our current vitamin regimen, and YMMV.)

It’s a huge difference between mcg and mg by dose value. 10000 mcg is 10mg. Saying 25,000mg would be... unwise.
