Chuck,
Let's not get anyone toxic on Vitamin D. ;^) I think you meant
1000 ug/day which is pretty close to the RDA of Vitamin D which is
600-800 International Units per day.

No doubt there's D in there but probably no where near enough. Recent
research shows that, if you live at high latitudes as we do, you need
about 1000mg/day during the the late fall to early spring when the sun
is low. You don't need any supplemental the other 6 months of the year
as long as you get outside about 20 minutes/day.
Supposedly, the incidence of all diseases (other than skin cancer) is at
a minimum the closer you get to the equator. The assumption, of course,
is that it's having adequate vitamin D.
