Hello Practo User, Your Vit D Reports are well with in normal limits. Even without supplements if you are able to maintain this level,there is nothing else to do.
Health Tips
The best time to get exposed to sunlight is 10.00 am to 12 noon. 30 minutes exposing both arms and legs to sunlight is good enough. Regards,
