The dosage you r taking is too less so better take 6 lac unit either orally or by injection.
Then u can maintain it by taking proper sunlight

Hi
Such a low vit d level won't be corrected with these amount of supplements. You need to take injectable form 6 lac unit or oral supplements in 60k unit.

Consult with physician. According to your recent level (8.6) 1000IU doesn't helps you .Better to take appropriate dosage as per physician.
