"For...supplementation to protect against bone loss, a daily dosage of at least 800 IU [International Units] seems required. Higher doses (e.g., 100,000 to 200,00 IU [of vitamin D] every 2 months for 6 months) may be needed to correct established vitamin deficiency; a repeat [blood]assay after 4 to 6 months may help to assess the treatment response and to adjust the subsequent vitamin dosage...

"From a public health perspective, supplying at least 800 IU per day seems useful and safe."

Emphasis added.
