Reply to "Low Vitamin D Level"

I had very very low levels of vitamin D, even though I live in tropical region and there's abundance of sunlight yearlong but UC just wouldnt let my body absorb enough sunlight probably. I think same is the case in pouchitis. I used to take 60,000 IU capsule once a week to keep it close to normal. Even with that high a dose I used to supplement vitamin D from other calcium and multivitamin supps. Post takedown and after starting working out regularly Vitamin D is no more an issue for me. Yeah I do go out in sun alot now that I dont have UC, but I think the ability of body to be able to absorb the Vitamin from any source , be it sun, food or medicine needs to be increased. For me exercise did the trick. I dont think it would have gotten any better even if I had taken more capsules or sat in sun all day if my body was just not able to process the amount its supposed to.
