Hello there...I can understand your concern. you can take tablet uprise d3 60000 IU, one tablet every week for 8 weeks for vitamin d3 deficiency. It will help improve your serum vitamin d levels. You can try going out more in the sun. If you have any symptoms of bony pain or weakness, consult a orthopedic for further evaluation.
