The study
This trial compared high-dose vitamin D3 to daily vitamin D3 for treatment of vitamin D deficiency (<50 nmol/L). Children (ages 3–11) were given a single dose of 400,000 IU of vitamin D3, and children 12 years or older were given a single dose of 800,000 IU. These groups were compared to a control group of children who received a daily dose of 2,000 IU for 12 months, and vitamin D levels were assessed at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
Vitamin D levels were similar between groups at each time interval.
