You can go higher on the D. 10k. Even 14k. Let your body be your guide, but 14k should be fine. Your body really will just not absorb it if it's too much (within reason).
-
If you are taking D when not also taking in a fat (butter, ghee, lard, tallow, olive oil), you're going to just shit it out (more or less). Absorption will not be "ideal" and possibly not even "good". Suggest a spoon of good fat with your D when you consume it. Go for at least 40 minutes outside in the middle of the day in the Summer (sadly if you are in the UK, the Winter's sun will offer you ZERO Vitamin D production even if you sat out in the sun with yer balls swingin' in the wind for the whole day).
Try to add in other goodies like seaweed/dulse for the natural iodine, oysters/mussels/clams/mackerel for the Omega 3, etc. Potassium and magnesium as well (also need a fat for absorption). Limit blue light at night to keep your sleep cycle and melatonin production on schedule.
