Personal anecdote - vitamin D supplements did absolutely nothing for my vitamin D levels.

it wasn't until I committed to getting more sunlight that my levels increased.

What was your daily IU supplementation, and how long did you supplement before checking your levels again?

I take 5000 IU daily, but also wonder if I'd do better with more sunlight instead.

I was taking 50000 IU a week. Checked multiple times over periods of months.

Hey, someone like me. I was upped to that dose 2x a week and then 3x. Now my levels are up and holding.
