vitamin D level of 9 ng/mL indicates severe deficiency, and in such cases, higher corrective doses are commonly prescribed for a short duration to restore levels effectively.
Regarding the prescribed dose (60,000 IU on alternate days):
This regimen is sometimes used in cases of very low vitamin D under medical supervision. Vitamin D toxicity is rare and usually occurs only with very high daily doses taken continuously for many months without monitoring.
How to support vitamin D naturally:
- Sun exposure: Aim for 15–30 minutes of direct sunlight on arms and legs, 4–5 days a week, preferably between late morning and early afternoon.
- Dietary sources: Include fortified milk and cereals, egg yolk, mushrooms exposed to sunlight, and fatty fish such as sardines or salmon.
