Dr. Holick explains how much vitamin D a woman should get per day.

Dr. Holick:
In my opinion, I think that all adults and women in particular should be taking at least 1000 International Units supplement as well as a multivitamin containing 400 units of vitamin D and getting a calcium supplement or drinking milk that’s containing another 400 to 600 units of vitamin D. So in combination, if they are getting about 2000 units of vitamin D a day, they are getting about what they need.
