How Can Vitamin D Deficiency Be Treated?
I received feed back from my lab, Sonora Quest-Phoenix, it indicated my vitamin D number was 8.8. My doctor suggested 50,000 units twice a month for the next 3 months (two pills @ month). I have never heard of this, is it a good choice and, are there side problems using. My chief problem is an aortic valve which I take many pills. Thanks.
