Whats the quickest way to correct vitamin d deficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunshine: The classic way to increase vitamin D is to expose your skin to the sun, but more efficient if no sunblock. Do not exceed 20-30 minutes at a time to avoid sunburn. If cloudy climate, supplement using 800-1000 units, vit D-3 daily. Measure serum levels in about 2-3 months.
