Low vitamin D
Hi
My vitamin D was low last year. I think due to less exposure to sunlight. I took calcium and vitamin D supplements. It came to normal in 2 months.
Now again it is showing low. I will again go for the same treatment. Its OK.
But will I can get it back again next year? Is there any permanent remedy?
