Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Vitamin D: of 10 is rock bottom. Please see your doctor. Supplementing w/5k daily of D3 to get the level to between 50 & 80 is what experts on D can suggest. If/when supplementing please use sublingual tabs, not the type of D you swallow directly. Peace and good health.
