The current recommendation for adult intake of vitamin D is 400 IU per day, but findings from a study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine suggested that a vitamin D intake of 600 IU was insufficient to maintain adequate vitamin D levels in the body in the absence of sun exposure. They proposed an increase of the minimum daily recommended adult dose to 1,000 IU per day (Glerup, 2000).
Vitamin D, however can be toxic. Therein lies the problem. We cannot get too much vitamin D from the sun, but we can from supplemental sources.
