Hi,
That's great your tests are Normal. You should take vitamin D for more time if it's was deficient. We recommend taking 2 to 6 pack units initially to fill the deficiency and then take 5 thousand weekly, or 20 thousand monthly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
