My 6 yr old sons vit d has come out to be less than 20. he complains of leg pains. how much iu of vit d supplement is needed for him.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Supplement: I typically recommend a Vitamin that says 100 % RDA Vit D. Retest in about 3 months. Vit D level assay is sensitive and complex. Also Vit D is a fat soluble Vitamin, so one has to be careful of mega doses, since it can accumulate in the body too. Exposure to sunlight is the best way to build up natural Vit D
