My doctor told me to take vitamin D supplements without even bothering to test if I was deficient. 1000 IU in the summer, 4000 IU in the winter. IIRC, it varies based on your location, time spent outdoors, diet, etc. But it is generally safe to take vitamin D supplements.
Same experience, except without giving a dosing recommendation. TBF, it was getting tested as part of regularly checks, but the recommendation came before testing.

i would probably test it. im taking 5k IU on occasion but i forget too often, so it fell from last time.
