You start taking vitamin D every day, expecting your blood levels to rise, but your next test comes back almost as low as before. That all-too-familiar frustration of doing \u201ceverything right\u201d and not getting anywhere is almost inescapable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">Now, it\u2019s tempting to just blame the supplement. Maybe it\u2019s the wrong brand. Maybe the dose is too low. But physicians urge people to step back and look at the bigger picture. Raising vitamin D isn\u2019t as simple as just swallowing a pill.
