Answer:

1,000-2000 IU per day

Step-by-step explanation:

The recommended value by health professionals is a lot higher because this value is used for a healthy lifestyle. The Dietary Reference Intake for Vitamin D (600 UI) is the minimum required for men and women. Many people need almost double that amount to keep up with their lifestyles.

Vitamin D is a vitamin that is made by the body when exposed to sunlight. In areas that do not get much sunlight hours, it is recommended to take supplements.
