Hi,
Your Vitamin D2 level is mildly deficient. In older persons, the skin is not as effective in producing Vitamin D from sunlight.
What is your intake of dairy products like?
I would like to suggest that you keep a three-day diary of all you eat and drink. Take this to your physician for his/her review.
The amount of Vitamin D2 required for treatment is too great to be obtained over-the-counter. Your doctor will write a prescription.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Arnold Zedd, Pediatrician
