This study evaluated long-term daily intake of 1,000 and 4,000 IU of vitamin D3. The 4,000 IU amount increased 25(OH)D levels more effectively, while monitored safety measures remained within normal ranges. It provides a direct research reference for the amount in D3 4000.

A randomized study compared a lower vitamin D3 intake with 4,000 IU daily in people with insufficient vitamin D levels. The higher amount produced a greater increase in 25(OH)D and a reduction in parathyroid hormone, without affecting calcium levels, demonstrating the effect of consistent use at this amount.
