In the original article the unit of measurement for Vitamin D was amended by the typesetter from IU to μg during the proofs stage, but the numbers were not updated to correspond to the change in unit.

Abstract:
Men in the active group initially received an oral bolus of 300 000 mg of vitamin D3, followed by daily supplementation with 1400 mg of vitamin D3 and 500 mg of calcium.
Material and methods:
Men allocated to active treatment initially received an oral bolus of 300 000 mg of vitamin D3, followed by daily supplementation with 1400 mg of vitamin D3 and 500 mg of Ca (Tablets, Ferrosan/ Pfizer).
Statistical analysis:
In hindsight, we would have used a higher daily dosage instead of the initial megadose (300 000 mg).
Discussion:
One explanation for our finding could be the initial oral megadose of 300 000 mg of vitamin D3 followed by a daily dosage of 1400 mg for 150 days that secures rapid restoration of vitamin D status and maintenance throughout the study duration.
and
Camozzi et al. found that individuals with obesity had a longer period of adequate serum 25OHD status compared with individuals with normal weight after a single high-dose bolus of vitaminD3 supplementation of 300 000 mg(21), which indicates different kinetics in normal v. high BMI following high-dose supplementation.
