Abstract
Many different ergocalciferol regimens were used to replace vitamin D, and overall attainment of vitamin D sufficiency appeared to be moderate. Based on our findings, an ergocalciferol regimen of 50,000-100,000 IU/week with no loading dose could be considered as a starting point for vitamin D repletion.
