Brief Answer: Sunlight and Vit D supplements Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. The only ways to replenish the Vit D levels is by getting exposed to the early morning sunlight everyday for not less than 40 minutes and taking Vit D supplements. D-RISE sachets to be taken with milk every week for 8 weeks and followed by one sachet every month for 8 months. This would suffice to bring up the levels well. regards,
