A vitamin D level below 13 ng/ml is very low and needs prompt correction. Your doctor will likely prescribe high-dose vitamin D3 supplements (tablets, capsules, or injections) for a few weeks, followed by a maintenance dose. Along with supplements, get safe sun exposure and include vitamin D?rich foods like eggs, fish, and fortified dairy. Regular follow-up blood tests will help track improvement and ensure safe dosing.
