As someone with low vitamin D this kinda sucks. Does anyone know how effective OTC vitamin D is at raising vitamin D levels and what kind of doses to take?

- neckardt 6y agoOTC vitamin D is effective, recommended dose is 600IU per day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D#Recommended_levels https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D#Recommended_levels
- jp42 6y agoIn my experience, it is certainly effective. I take 2000IU fairly regularly since last few years and it certainly helped to keep vitamin D level slight above minimum required.
