Very low levels. Start vitamin d supplements 60,000 units per week for about 6 weeks, If you can tolerate afternoon sun in this weather   fine.

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.

With this low level of vitamin D it is better to start on medication for deficiency. Vitamin D supplements 60,000 IU once a week with fatty meal for atleast 12 weeks needed.
