Get your vitamin d level checked and if its low or on borderline start taking medication
Health Tips
dosage of medicine depends on your vitamin d level... so consult before starting to know the dosage and duration as excess intake has it's own side effects

Unless required don't take any medications. Test for serum ser vitamin d3. And if required you can take medicines.Even exposure to sun also increases  vitamin d level.
