If I need 400 IUs of vitamin D milk each day how many ounces should I drink?!

Question: On WebMD I was reading Six super foods every woman needs. #5 was Vitamin D fortified lowfat milk or orange juice. The amount we are supposed to have says 400 IUs each day. That doesn't help me since you can't easliy convert IUs to ounces. Everywhere I have tried it says an IU is different for each vitamin, so I needed help finding out what they meant when I am to drink 400 IUs.

Hello =)

I provided you with a link to a website that gives you a lot more information and food choices to get your Vitamin D but I will answer your question also =)

Each cup(8oz) of milk contains 98 IU's of Vitamin D so you would need to drink about 4 cups(32 oz total ) a day.

Orange juice isn't a good source of vitamin D, unless they are referring to the type with Added vitamin D(Tropicana), which has about the same as a cup of milk.
