Subscribe to Dr. Greger’s free nutrition newsletter at http://www.nutritionfacts.org/subscribe and get a free excerpt from his latest NYT Bestseller HOW NOT TO DIE. (All proceeds Dr. Greger receives from his books, DVDs, and speaking go to charity).

DESCRIPTION: The safe dose of vitamin D supplements to get most of the population to the optimal level is 2,000 i.u. a day, but the elderly and overweight may need more.

After all that work plowing through the new science and the same 2,000 iu/day recommendation I made in 2011 remains. http://nutritionfacts.org/2011/09/12/dr-gregers-2011-optimum-nutrition-recommendations/
