How much vitamin D should i take?

Dear Ask The Doctor: I stay indoors a lot and so get very little Vitamin D. How much Vitamin D should I take? age: 14 weight: 60 kg height: 165cm

Dear Sihana: The Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of Vitamin D3, due to its high safety profile, may be up  to 10,000 IU per day and because of the wide role it plays in our health, consuming 2,000 to 4,000 IU per day of this vitamin when sunlight is scarce is a prudent way to improve overall health.
