That is extremely low as I assume you know. I would take 10,000 IU of D3 (use the D3) per day.

I got D3 (5000 iu's) for $7 at walmart. Please don't take the Rx. My Mom has been taking that for the past year and her level has stayed around 17, never went up.
Once I found out, I told her to take 10,000 iu's Vitamin D3 a day and see what her level is in a month.
She gets it tested again in 2 weeks.

Good luck.

It's D3. You can't buy D2 OTC anymore. On a multi vitamin if you look at the ingredients list, it will say cholecalciferol. That is the Vitamin D3.
Usually there are only 400 iu's in a multivitamin.
The D3 I buy is Spring Valley brand and it says D3 right on the front.
