Low vitamin D levels – FAWN

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

To Fawn and anyone else that is knowledgable. My vitamin D levels remain low even though I have been taking 1400 mg a day with calcium citrate for a year now. My doc just up my dosage to 2400mg a day. Even when I was outside all the time this past summer my levels were still on the low end of the scale. What is the best form of vitamin D to take? Or are there any other suggestions?
