The pills come in units of 1000 International Units and I confess to taking irregular and random doses ... not really scheduled, of 2-3 pills every two or three days. One of my wife's doctors monitors her vitamin D levels and has her on an actual schedule of two pills a day, sometimes three, sometimes one. His intention is to keep her kidneys functioning at a steady age-appropriate level and he has been successful at this to this point. In some manner, Vitamin plays into that program.
However, since I weigh 190, should I be prepared to start taking 190 pills at a time? Should I be stocking our medicine cabinet with ten or fifteen bottles of this stuff?
That article is calling for massive doses, making it sound as if this is a case of "More is always better."
A bottle a day keeps the Doctor away?

Zinc has another name when you buy it in vitamin form. I had better get us onto that ... whatever it is called.
