Question : Hello,
From a recent health checkup, I see that my vitamin D is less than 18ng. Is there any supplement or medicine to improve it? I got to know early morning sunlight is helpful to increase the value, but that's not possible to walk early morning as my work start by 6:00 am.

Result : 18 ng/mL Laboratory comments:
METHOD : CHEMILUMINESCENCE IMMUNOASSAY
Deficiency : < 20 ng/mL Insufficiency : 20-30 ng/mL Sufficiency : 30-100 ng/mL Toxicity : > 100 ng/mL

Brief Answer:
Supplementation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Exposure to morning sunlight does surely help to get Vit D but it's a slow process and takes a long time to replenish the deficiency.

I recommend supplementation like

D-Rise 60 k capsule taken in the night after food, weekly once for 6 weeks followed by monthly once for 6 months.

Regards,
