Low vit D deficiency

2020-08-14 18:51:54
What is right time to sit in the sun to get vit d? We dont get direct sunlight in our apartment and balcony. Will i get sufficient vit d if the sunlight doesnt directly fall on my body. My kids and I have very low vit d levels.. We have taken d pura for some time but now looking for permanent solution.

Hoing by the books, you need to have a good exposure of your body in sunlight for atleast 30 mins  i know this is not possible.  Therefore we have supplements. You can go for vitamin D levels, and simultaneously start cholecalciferol x 1 sachet (60,ooo units) once weekly for 4-6 weeks.
