Comment by VitaminDWiki

This is essentially a 600,000 IU loading dose, which, based on previous studies, should work well.
The loading dose amount and time period is very similar to what VitaminDWiki is proposing in the video being created

No update on trial as of Jan 2024 since 2013 - suspect it was cancelled
