For some years now it has been becoming increasingly clear that current recommendations for vitamin D intake are insufficient for preventing deficiency. Researchers have found that achieving optimal vitamin D levels often requires doses much higher than the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of 400 to 800 International Units (IU). This also applies to children, as a recent study concluded that 1,000 IU per day of vitamin D3 is the most effective dose in those aged 12 to 30 months old.
Researchers at the Dr. Rath Research Institute have conducted multiple scientific studies to demonstrate the benefits of the D3 form of vitamin D. In one of these studies, they tested its anti-cancer effects on breast cancer cells. Vitamin D was evaluated both alone and in combination with a group of synergistic nutrients. When tested alone, it inhibited the growth of breast cancer cells by 17 percent. Combined with green tea extract it inhibited cancer cell growth by 62 percent. Combining it with additional synergistic nutrients resulted in a significantly more pronounced inhibition of cancer cell growth. With incrementally increased doses of the synergistic nutrient combination, and while keeping the dose of vitamin D constant, the growth of breast cancer cells was inhibited by up to 94 percent.

In a recent narrative review published in Nutrients, researchers discuss the evidence arguing for the efficiency and safety of 2000 IU (50 micrograms) of vitamin D supplementation per day to prevent and treat vitamin D deficiency in the general adult population.
