Kid? I should have added a caveat. I was assuming adult when I said 10,000 IU.
My Naturopathic doctor said when you are deficient and trying to load up fast, that you can do half your body weight (X1,000) in IU for 3 days.... Like if your kid is 70 lbs, than you can do a maximum of 35,000 IU for 3 days straight, and then back off to a lower daily amount. (Maybe only do like 2,000 IU for a 70 lb child.
I have a 4-1/2 year old, and I give her 800 IU/ day, via chewy smarty pants multi vitamin.
before I did this with her, she'd get a cold and it would drag on for a week or so. Now she'll get a rare cold, but when she has, she has powered through it in 24-36 hours. The change is impressive.
That's what Dr. Lee Merrick said. You can get your Vit D checked through DHA labs for $35.
My kid was at a level of 8! She's doing the loading dose once a week, but I'm throwing another 5-10k on top of it.

In parts of N.E. England, the term of endearment "our kid" or "my kid" refers to one's wife.

She's almost 18, so she's doing adult doses.
