My vitamin d level is below 10 ng/ml. approximately how long will it take me to get to healthy level? i just started taking 2000 iu d3 once daily.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3-6 months: It will take 3-6 months to build up enough stores of vitamin D. You may continue taking this dose indefinitely. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
