Summary
Vitamin D deficiency is common world wide. 25 OH vitamin D level is the best indicator of
vitamin D status. Vitamin D supplements are available as vitamin D2 or D3, in small daily or
large weekly/monthly doses. Controversy continues on the relative potency of vitamin D2
compared to D3 and of daily compared to weekly or monthly doses, in increasing/maintaining
total 25 OH vitamin D level.
The investigators plan to conduct a controlled trial to compare the effect of various vitamin
D supplements on 25 OH vitamin D levels in healthy adults with starting 25 OH vitamin D level
between 20 to 50 nmol/L.
