At least 5,000 IU Vitamin D to get to optimal 50 ng - LEF Nov 2013

When trying to purchase another Vitamin D test at Life Extension Foundation I got the following pleasant message

Life Extension’s research has found that if a person is not taking at least 5000IU of vitamin D a day they will likely be below an optimal blood value of 50ng/mL.
Life Extension suggests most people take this amount for at least 1 month before doing their vitamin D blood test.
Please see our January 2010 magazine article "Startling Findings About Vitamin D Levels in Life Extension Members" for more details.
