I've just found out from my test results that I have a Vitamin D deficiency. Can you please help me out with what treatment or medicine I should be considering for this? I'm really unsure about what steps to take next.

Vitamin D deficiency is commonly treated with supplements, such as Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), to help raise your levels. The dosage varies based on the severity of the deficiency, but typically ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 IU daily. Additionally, increasing sun exposure and consuming Vitamin D-rich foods like fatty fish, fortified dairy, and eggs can help. Always consult with your doctor for personalized recommendations.
