A member asked:
My vitamin d level is 13. if i have to increase it, what would be the name of the supplement i could buy from the med store?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vitamin D3: You can buy it from any drug store or Costco, without prescription. Take about 5000 units/day for three months and then you may retest. Testing again is not needed. You may reduce the dose to 2000 units/day after three months.
