How do i treat severe vitamin d deficiency (5ng/ml or 13nmol/l). i spend at least 1 hour in the sun each day, uncovered but only 20 minutes at a time.

Many people take: 5,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 daily when their D level is low. It comes in capsule form and can be found in health food stores. Check w/doc first. Peace and good health.
