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.
