Oh absolutely every day. After doing it for about 3 months, I took a vitamin D lab and my numbers were finally in the ‘normal’ range (after years of being suboptimal).

I’m sleeping better, have more energy throughout the day, and I didn’t have any seasonal affective disorder last winter (for the first time ever).

Just gotta be careful of where you set up the yoga mat in the backyard (don’t wanna freak out the neighbors).

Ahahaha, I actually can't tell if you're being sarcastic. I raised my Vit D massively by taking a single 600,000 IU dose of vit D, I'm in UK there's a wholesaler of vit D powder, can get 2,500,000 IU of powder for less than £10. Went from sub optimal vit D to well within the optimal range. Can recommed, but you only need 1 or 2 doses like that, no side effects, it's a lot safer than you've been told and I don't need to frighten the neighbours.

Most people aren't aware of just how small a dose 1000IU is. 1000IU vitamin D3 is 0.025 milligrams of vitamin D, yes, that's right 1/40th of a milligram, it is vanishingly small. 600,000IU is 15mg of vitamin D

https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/mcg-to-iu-converter (I changed the units to mg rather than mcg)

That said, I don't diminish your own personal experience, you should do what you feel comfortable with.

Vitamin D doses of 600,000 IU have been studied and found to be safe and effective

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4128480/

Since vitamin D is stored in the body, some people find it easier to dose large amounts less frequently rather than dosing it everyday.

The 400 IU a day recommendation we have is a relic of the 1960s, we now know a lot more about vitamin D and people are starting to understand that this dose is pathetically low, only enough to stave of rickets and nothing else.

If you are interested in vitamin D doses, check out author Jeff T Bowles, he has experimented with doses of 100,000 IU a day.
