I am trying very hard to get my Vitamin D into the 50-70 range, but after a year of taking 5,000 units daily, then increasing to 6,000 units daily and adding sun exposure as frequently as I can (guided by the DMinder app), I am still stuck at 47! Does anyone have any advice? Are there people who just can't get their D into the preventative range?

    When vit D is low, many docs prescribe 50,000 units of vit D2 once a week for 9 doses then prescribe the D3.  Maybe you can ask your doctor to prescribe that dose.
