Intake Recommendations. Most women need 2,333 International Units, or 700 micrograms, of vitamin A each day, while men need 3,000 IU or 900 micrograms, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. Because vitamin A plays such an important role in a developing babyâs development, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers need more vitamin A -- 2,567 IU and 4,333 IU, respectively.
How much vitamin D should adults take? According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the daily Adequate Intake (AI) for adults is 5 mcg (200 IU) daily for males, female, and pregnant/lactating women under the age of 50. People 50 to 70 years old should get 10 mcg daily (400 IU) daily, and those over 70 should get 15 mcg daily (600 IU). Based on recent research, Dr. Weil recommends 2,000 IU of vitamin D per day. Look for supplements that provide D3 (cholecalciferol) rather than D2 (ergocalciferol).
