Brief Answer:
Supplements...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Vitamin D deficiency is a very commonly encountered problem in our country. Exposure to the sun for atleast an hour helps the body secrete vitamin D for us. In addition, the use of vitamin D rich food helps to build vitamin D level.

Besides these two measures, you can also consider vitamin D supplement pills. Cap D rise 60K which contains 60000 IU of vitamin D can be taken once a week for 6 weeks followed by Cap Uprise 1000IU every day for 3 months should help to improve the current deficiency.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
