Brief Answer:
Use 2000 UI/ d for a month

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

A result of 26. 1 ng/ml is not quite low to be an insufficiency.
It shows low levels of vitamin D but not insufficiency.
You can continue to take 2000 UI daily for a month to correct the low vitamin D levels.
A month of treatment is sufficient to correct it.

Hope I have answered the question.
