A level of 8 is very low. Take prescribed high dose Vitamin D 60,000 IU per week and increase sun exposure. Recheck levels in 6 to 8 weeks.

Take a Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test

I have vitamin D and calcium deficiency. However, taking calcium supplements causes my hair to turn gray. I tried taking calcium with vitamin D, but after stopping the vitamin D dosage, my vitamin D levels went down again.

My vitamin D test level is 7 as per recent test reports from 2 days ago. I have had a backache for the last 6 months. Kindly recommend treatment?
