Specializes in General Surgery

Low vitamin D3: There is a group of patients who do not absorb vitamin D3 efficiently. They seem to require higher doses of oral D3 ( 6000 to 10000 units daily) to achieve adequate blood levels, (between 40 and 70). Don't give up, stay on your vitamin D3 and get an annual blood level. Be well.
