I've just turned 19, and I'm a girl who weighs only around 36-40 kgs. It feels like no matter how much I eat or how properly I do it, my weight just doesn't seem to go up. It's getting really frustrating because I'm looking really slim and can't figure out why. Could there be something else going on that I should be worried about?

Could you advise on the correct dosage of vitamin D I should be taking and how often I need to take it? I want to make sure I'm doing it right.

The recommended dose of vitamin D varies depending on age, deficiency level, and health status; generally, 600-800 IUday is recommended for adults, 1,000-2,000 IUday for deficient individuals, and 2,000-5,000 IUday for severe deficiencies; take vitamin D supplements with a fatty meal, preferably breakfast, and consider the following dosing schedules: - Mild deficiency: 600-800 IUday for 1-3 months - Moderate deficiency: 1,000-2,000 IUday for 3-6 months - Severe deficiency: 2,000-5,000 IUday for 6-12 months
