This is also what I do. My doctor had prescribed 1000 IU of D2, but after reading Dr Davis' "Undoctored" I decided to substitute 5000 IU of D3, and take the magnesium & K2 also. I'll be curious to see my labs when I go back for my checkup.

If I've been outdoors in the sun, I may skip a dose of the D3, but usually take it every day in the winter. I also take a highly absorbed Magnesium Citrate and a high-quality Vitamin K2. This is just me, and the Magnesium eliminates muscle cramping during workouts. From this experience, I believe I need to stay consistent with magnesium supplementation. Vitamin K2 moves the calcium I get from my WOE to where it is most useful (bones) and keeps it away from where I don't want it (arteries). I eat a nutrient dense diet otherwise, so I don't use a multivitamin or take any other supplements. YMMV.
