Hello
You asked a typical and very interesting question about the doses and utility of Vitamin D 3 .
So read this carefully and you will get some answer.
Usually a person is considered as Vitamin D deficient if serum concentration is Optimum level is believed to be >25 ng/ml.
However, ,the effectiveness of vitamin D suppelmentation has been definitively proved only in osteomalacia ( bone density decreased ).
Since you are also having prostate cancer , so I recommend you please consult one more specialist and get his opinion regarding doses adjustment.
Hope this information will be useful for you.
Good luck.
