@papiya Treatment for vitamin D deficiency primarily consists of supplementation. If your doctor determines that you are indeed lacking this nutrient, they may recommend the following options. A vitamin D deficiency may be treated with vitamin D supplementation. You may find these easily over the counter, but you should ask your doctor for specific recommendations to ensure the right dosage. For severe deficiency, or if your levels don’t improve with over-the-counter supplements, your doctor may recommend prescription vitamin D. These come in much stronger doses of up to 50,000 IU. Another potential option your doctor may consider is vitamin D injections
