Key Information

Significant Deficiency: Your recent blood test shows your Vitamin D levels are significantly lower than they should be. This requires a specific two-phase treatment plan rather than standard advice.

Phase One (The Boost): We have prescribed a special high-strength 7-week course. You must take this exactly as prescribed to rapidly boost your body's stores back to a normal range.

Phase Two (Maintenance): Only after the 7 weeks are finished, you must switch to a daily maintenance supplement (20micrograms). You can buy this over the counter at pharmacies or supermarkets; it is not on prescription.

Why It Matters: Vitamin D is essential for bone health, muscle function, and energy. Correcting this deficiency will help resolve symptoms like tiredness and general aches.

What Happens Next?

Please collect your prescription for the high-dose course from your pharmacy and begin the 7-week cycle immediately. Mark the end date in your calendar so you know exactly when to switch to the shop-bought maintenance dose.
