So, here is my problem. I take 2000iu of D3 a day. I was taking 1000 but my level was around 45 so the doctor told me to double my dosage.
I live in the sunny hot South and could get plenty of sun but I have also had several skin cancers removed. I’m a natural redhead (or was) with really white fair skin. The skin cancer doctor told me to stay out of the sun. My primary care told me to sit in the sun a few minutes a day. I grew up in S. Florida and I love being outside but I don’t like having skin cancer surgeries.
I’ll be interested to see if my level comes up by doubling my D3. I still get in the sun. Can’t avoid it here when you live on a farm and have a lot of outside work to do. Right now I’m just trying to avoid a Melanoma.

I’m sure you’ve read that I take a LOT more Vit D than is recommended.
I read this fascinating little E book by Jeff T Bowles on high dose Vit D. He’s done the research.
I, too, was a natural redhead, with the temper to match and the white skin. But I’m telling you, I look and feel healthier on a high dose. I also take Vit K to keep the Vit D where it belongs.
4000 is a fine dose, just take some Vit K. And read that little book! It’s quite an eye opener.
