As Kelly said, your dose needs to depend on your labs, but FWIW, I take a sublingual B12 (5000 units) once a week and take 50,000 units of D3 three times a week. I had a terrible time getting my Vit D levels up (it was NINE at my first labs and we screwed around a long time increasing it by piddly 1000 or 2000 units a day before I finally decided (on my own) to go for the 50,000 unit "big guns".

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I currently take vit b12 2500 every other day and my level was 1544 on my last check. I was taking 4000 of vit D and my level on last check was 38, so I increased it to 8000. My doctors office was ok with the low level, but i'm not.
