VITAMIND D - How much can you take for cold/flu symptoms

[HyperT77]

I was diagnosed about 7 months ago with Vitamin D defiency by my Endocrinologist.  I now take 2,000 IU's softgels of Vitamin daily.  My D level as of 2 weeks ago had come up to 25.  She wants to see it well above 30.  

My question is this.  I have a cold/flu this week.  Does anyone know if you can take more than 2,000 IU's of Vitamin D a day.  I've read you can take up to 4,000 IU's.

Thanks for any input!

I spent years trying to find the best product out there.

In the Uk they have a product called wintersun complex which combines, it is quickly being regarded as the best product out there.:

Vitamin D3 (5000iu),
5HTP (100mg),
l-tryptophan (500mg),
Magnesium Chelate (200mg),
Vitamin B Complex - 75mg  
and Vitamin C - 1000mg.

I think it was found at www.wintersuncomplex.com

I found this if its any help to you.
Toxicity can occur if too much is taken.
