That's very good advice - I was taking 10,000 IU per day, and found out with a blood test that I was still deficient! I upped it to 15K per day, but I have to go back to find out if that did the trick or if there's some reason I'm not absorbing it.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick has a rule of thumb. each 1,000 additional Vit D = 5 ng/ml. The RDAs are scams. And all the MSM vit D toxicity scare articles are criminal.
Gut health is very important - do you ever read draxe.com? He has a LOT of insight about gut health, lots of good health info on that site. I have not tried anything I learned from him that didn't work.

Agreed 100%
I'm 45. 180 lbs. taking 12,000 IU/day. last test was 59 ng/ml. (I started at 16 when covid hit).
my wife is 40. 120 lbs. taking 5,000 IU/day. her last test was 66 ng/ml.
So, that's quite a difference for 60 lbs and 5 years, so I've also attributed it to perhaps she has better gut health and absorbs it better than me.
