I think it really depends what your current vitamin D level is naturally. Most people in the UK are deficient but until you know by how much it's difficult to say what amount you can supplement it by. I do know though that you must not take vitamin D on an empty stomach as it doesn't get absorbed properly. Hopefully the blood test will give you more information.
