A member asked:

Mostly i work from home so sun exposure is very less so can u suggest me any vitamin d capsule?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vitamin D capsules are available over the counter in drug stores and in grocery stores. You may take 2000 units/day of vitamin D3. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
