Hello, I refer you to this link for recommended intakes: https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-canada/services/aliments-nutrition/saine-alimentation/vitamines-mineraux/vitamine-calcium-revision-apports-nutritionnels-reference.html#a10 It recommends a daily intake of 600 units per day for a 39 year old woman as well as an 11 year old child. Keep in mind that this is the recommended intake, including what you consume in food. The link provided may offer more details. Osteoporosis Canada recommends 400 to 1000 units per day throughout the year: https://osteoporosecanada.ca/vitamine-d/ Sincerely, Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
