Please see my whole point there, I’m giving these as an example, you should figure out your own dosages. Hence why I’m not specifying a given amount. If you don’t know how much of a supplement to dose and have no marker you want to improve that you can look at (+no idea of potential side effects) I’d go towards taking 0IU.
With D3 I’d monitor energy/focus levels 1h after taking it in the morning (e.g. via a click speed test or seeing how many pushups you can do or 2-3 of these) + 25(oH)D + calcium + inonized calcium (+PTH and kidney function if calcium is super low/high or you are feeling icky… for kidney function and what to test the story is rather long).
But INAD and that’s what I’d look at for my own self and maybe you have a whole different reason to take it.
If you can’t monitor stuff, just don’t take them, I’m serious, here’s a simple video that maybe will get the point across better. Supplements are high-risk low-reward and will be all but useless if you have a healthy diet, if anything a healthy diet nowadays risks going way over the RDA for most micronutrients, not under.

Within 1h after taking Vitamin D3 the blood 25(OH)D level won’t change at all. To the extend that certain blood 25(OH)D level have certain health effects as the literature suggests, you filter them out completely with that heuristic.
Can you specify the amount in IU?
