My endocrinologist said I should be taking 800 to 1000 units of Vitamin D3 daily and try to get 1200 mg of calcium either in your diet or as a supplement. My Vitamin D level was 46 before I began trying to add more Vitamin D through diet and supplements. I live in Northern Vermont where we don't get much sun but I am outside as much as I can be.

Thank you for that information. I too have vitamin D deficiency and I live in California. I grew up in Minnesota where everyone had vitamin D problems. I remember I had to take cod liver oil as a kid which is a natural source of vitamin D. I am going to start that again, and I found one online that should not taste as bad so am sending that info.
