Persistent vitamin D deficiency despite taking supplements can occur due to several reasons.
Common causes include inadequate dose or irregular intake, taking supplements on an empty stomach (vitamin D is absorbed better when taken with a meal containing some fat), and limited sun exposure.
Obesity and certain medications can also affect vitamin D levels. If deficiency persists despite proper supplementation, underlying conditions causing poor absorption, such as celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease, should be considered. Liver and kidney disorders may also interfere with vitamin D metabolism.
Treatment usually involves vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 60,000 IU once weekly for 6–8 weeks, followed by maintenance therapy. However, the dose and duration should be individualized based on blood levels and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. If levels remain low despite treatment, further evaluation is recommended to identify and address the underlying cause.

Persistent vitamin D deficiency despite taking supplements can occur due to inadequate dosage, irregular intake, poor absorption from the intestine, obesity, liver/kidney disorders, or certain medications. It would be helpful to know your current vitamin D level and the dose of supplements you have been taking.
Next Steps
Please consult a physician and repeat a 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test. Additional tests such as serum calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and kidney/liver function tests may be advised if levels remain low despite treatment.
Health Tips
Vitamin D supplements are best absorbed when taken with a meal containing some fat. Avoid self-medicating with very high doses without medical supervision, as excessive vitamin D can also cause health problems.

Based on this, you may be dealing with chronic malabsorption issues in your gut or improper metabolic assimilation, which prevents oral supplements from effectively entering your bloodstream. However, for a proper diagnosis of why oral therapies are failing, we need a complete evaluation of your absorption markers, calcium levels, and underlying gut function.
Next Steps
To accurately review your 4-year medical history, evaluate your upcoming calcium and vitamin blood levels side-by-side, and provide a precise, safe prescription for injectable therapy, please book a direct consultation session via my Practo profile."
