I've never heard of the requirement to be out in actual sun for  
the D suppliment to take effect.  I only heard that any vitamin  
supp should be taken with food.

I have a multi vitamin that has 50mcg of D3.

So, according to google: Vitamin D, 1IU = 0.025 mcg
.: 50mcg = 2000 IU

But I also have a separate bottle of D3 of 1000 IU.

That 7000IU seems quite a lot!

I rarely take the pills every day - only when I might feel a  
bit spent of energy. I figure that my standard eating plan  
provides most everything.
