You should not need a 5K dose to being that level up. What other pills, supplements......etc.... are you taking? One of them may be interfering with your improved numbers.
For example: My potassium was out of whack for a long time, only to find out three years later it was the water-pill brand I was taking for High Blood Pressure, that caused it to drain low.
As I was saying, I was taking a 1,000 units Vitamin D supplement daily for years. I take usually buy Nature Made.
My doctors are aware of the meds and supplements I take. I will see my endo this coming week and ask her. When they found out my D level was at the low end, they said it would take up to six months to get the level up.
I get a Chem 8 and electrolyte panel plus magnesium and phosphorus checked regularly. All fine.

I saw my endo today and she said to continue with 5,000 units D3 per day. While I am at the low end for the normal D25 Hydroxy range, she says it's sufficient. Will retest in one month.
