Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My Vitamin D is very low. Should be between 30 to 100 but it is 5+. What is your recommendation to get it to normal?

Answered by Dr. Alka

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query. Your Vitamin D level is very low and you should definitely start supplements under supervision. Along with oral supplements, you require supplements through injection too. Also take diet which improves Vitamin D level like fortified dairy products, fortified orange juice, fortified cereals, fatty fish as tuna and salmon, egg yolks, etc. Spend some time early in the morning in sunlight. All these things will help you in improving Vitamin D level.

The Probable causes

Poor eating habits and improper lifestyle.

Investigations to be done

Blood test for vitamin D.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
