Vitamin D level of 7 is significantly deficient—definitely needs correction. While midday sun (around 11 AM to 1 PM) is ideal for Vitamin D synthesis due to higher UVB availability, relying only on sunlight and supplements isn’t always enough.
There can be underlying causes—malabsorption,
liver/
kidney dysfunction, or even certain medications—that prevent proper absorption or activation of Vitamin D. Also, high-dose supplementation isn’t risk-free—hypercalcemia, renal strain, and GI disturbances are just a few possible side effects.
Best approach? Identify and treat the root cause, not just the number. It’s worth getting this evaluated properly—happy to help with that.
