Always makes me chuckle when people talk about "big business" as if it was something new. Hudson Bay Company and Dutch East India Company along with other were really Big Business.
That gets into what corporations are supposed to be about. And that's a discussion we in the US should probably engage.
A Canadian friend once told me about a Newbie who asked what HBC stood for, as he had seen it almost everywhere he went. The laconic answer was Here Before Christ.
I don't think I'd guess Hudson Bay Company. That's kinda long ago.

I heard about this last night on coat to coast and they had the heart doctor on and he said they were giving these folks 10,000 iu a day or 140,000 ius a week. That would be fine is the person was sub normal not getting any daylight vit D but in the long run it was to much. He recommended around 3,000 to 4,000 iu a day.
Thanks.
10,000IU daily is far more than most people would consider taking.
Now I'll go bang my head for taking health advice from Coast to Coast. ;-)
I don’t understand why it would be important to take K2, magnesium or anything else with vitamin D as those things don’t come with sunlight. Maybe the fact of ingesting the vitamin D changes the equation somehow.
Dr. Mercola had an article a couple months ago on the importance of supplementing with Vitamin K2 if youre going to supplement with Vit D3. Some studies showed that K2 helps keep calcium from being leached from your bones by the D3 and being depositied, among other places, in your arteries. So, that might explain the heart health issues that this study was finding.
FWIW, here's Dr. Cannell's formula: Purity Products. It contains K2.
Im interested in what is considered the low end of normal. Well, maybe Im not, lol, I dont do blood, and only partially remember numbers...is it 4 - 5000 IUs?
Everyone's different so it's not the amount ingested but the blood level. I've never had a blood test for vitamin D level and don't think one test would suffice. I just guess. Right now I'm taking 8,000IU daily but I'll back off of that before long.
