It is useful to recall that the minimum daily requirement was set on the basis of the minimum needed to prevent rickets.

If that's your criterion for health, fine. The probablitity however is that higher doses will have a beneficial effect on all sorts of functions never before studied systematically.

An arbitrary dose of around 1000 mg daily is a fair measure which has no known negative side effects.

The amount in vitmamin D supplements or in multivitamins is usually expressed as International Units(IU).
