A member asked:

I am a 28 years old male my vitamin d level is 30 and the average should be at lrast 80 .what is the dose of vitamin d supplements i should be taking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dosing: depends on why you are deficient in Vitamin D. Furthermore, the optimal dose is not firmly established. For healthy adults a dose of 600-800 units of Vitamin D3-cholecalciferol should suffice.

Children up to 4 years old we have to give 10 g of vitamin D3 daily, but we still give this to our 5 year old son every day. Could this have adverse effects? Could we better stop to give it? We also give him vitamin c supplement daily, is this ok?
