Extremely Low Vitamin D!

2016-12-26 04:07:21
My Vit D is 4.3 ng/ml, calcium is 9.81 mg/dl. Calcium is normal but Vit d is very low. Should I take cholecalciferol tablets 60000 IU daily or weekly. Someone recommended me to take 4-5 tablets daily and then shift to taking it weekly. I'm really worried because my vitamin d level is too low. Suggestions please!
