What Does The AST Level Of 49 Indicate?

I just learned I have a vitamin D deficiency. I have been prescribed 50,000 units twice a week. Blood tests revealed AST (SGOT) 49 which is considered high with expected results between 13-39. Also, my Alkaline Phosphatase is 32 which is low and expected to be between 38-126. I am 58 years old, 5 9 and 256 lbs. I take vit E daily along with calcium and a centrum silver. Also take Levothyroxine, omniprazole, and metformin. Please advise

Don't worry dear friend for AST level. It is okay up to 50. If ALP is normal then there is no concern.
