"Last year [2003], in a roundtable discussion at an osteoporosis
conference in Lausanne, Switzerland, Vieth, Holick, Heaney, and others
agreed that an optimal 25-D blood concentration for most people is 75 to
80 nmol/l. Most panelists, therefore, recommended that people strive for
800 to 1,000 IU [20-25 mcg] of Vitamin D daily to achieve it."
