Low vitamin D dose and time length

[jack wilson21]

I maybe suffer from vitamin D deficiency, I have a docs appointment next week but I was wondering if I could just take vitamin d now and what could be the right dose and for how long to take vitamin D, until my levels go back to normal, do you take this supplements while your recover and then you can stop? or as soon as you drop them , the vitamin D deficiency will return?

the best way to get vitamin D is simply being out in the sun. deficiency of this vitamin is actually common but it is easily fixed.

You can certainly take a vitamin D supplement. Steve mentions that the sun is the easiest way to get it though.

Vitamin D is an extremely important vitamin.

Remember that vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin. It needs to be taken with meals that contain dietary fat to be absorbed.

I recommend supplementing with 400iu daily in the summer months and 1000iu during the winter months
