That is low. You need above 50 for optimum bone health and immunity. Take supplements with a fatty meal as vit d is fat-soluble and needs fat for good absorption. Recheck your levels after a month. Also, in addition to supplements, eat food rich in vitamin d such as milk, egg, chicken and get enough sunlight.
