How long for vit d levels to rise to normal levels (doc would like to see 50) if deficient (was 17) and on 5000 iu suppl daily? did 50k boost for 8wks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-4 weeks: Your vitamin d level should be above 30 in 2-4 weeks unless you are considerably overweight. In that case a somewhat higher dose may be needed.
