Responses (5) Hi Rutvij, vitamin D deficiency sure can cause pain and havoc with our bodies. I also had the same problem, but my doctor had me take a prescription vitamin D, once a week, at 50,000 IU's. If you take too much it can be toxic and cause problems as well as a deficiency.
The current recommended intake for vitamin D is 600 International Units (IU) for adults up to age 70 years, and for adults 71 or older the recommendation is 800 IU. Talk to your doctor about your exact vitamin D need, if a supplementation is right for you, the type of supplement and the amount to take daily. There are two forms of supplemental vitamin D: vitamin D2 (generally made from yeast) and vitamin D3 (made from the skins of sheep, cows, pigs and sheepâs wool).
