A member asked:
What type of vitamin d do vitamin d injections contain and should i sunbathe whilst receiving my monthly injections ? my level is 18.8

2 possibilities: It could be vit d2 (ergocalciferol) or d3 (cholecalciferol). Sunbathing will give you an additional boost in your vitamin d levels and is a pretty good idea. But don't overdo it in that hot kuwait sun!

see details: There is no need for monthly injections. Vitamin d pills will do just as good a job. You do not need to sunbathe.
