Try these steps: get as much sun for 20-30 minutes each day as possible, ingest daily Vitamin D-3 (not D-2), 2,000 units each day, adjust dose as needed to reach level of 50-70 ng/ml., which can be checked in about 3 months. Remember, Vitamin D is fat soluble, so, you may have stores within body but serum levels do not rise until saturation is reached in adipose tissues.
