    Don't worry: Vitamin D defiiency is epidemic now. Be sure you get the right type which is D3 and if possible Calcifediol (D3 too but bypasses the liver and is better absorbed. Take care.

      BTW - be sure to take Vitamin D with some fat (oils, cheese, butter, whatever) because it needs lipids (fats) to be absorbed; I also learned that Vitamin K is critical for the effective bioavailability of D3. I hope this helps.
