Dear user, it is likely you are not consuming fat soluble vitamins.
If vegetarian, consume more dairy products.
If non vegetarian, add oily fish.
If your digestion is bad, then add himalaya bael twice a day.
Get adequate sunlight exposure on skin.
Avoid seeds and dry fruits as they contain phytic acid which depletes our calcium, vitamin d reserves due to their antinutrients properties. Consume amino acids instead of multivitamins. Get minimum 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.more

Vitamin d supplements are of no use if your digestive system is weak. Vitamin d capsules only work if your stomach and intestines are able to absorb them. Otherwise you will get side effects such as acidity and diarrhoea.
Try getting vitamin d through injection.
Also increase consumption of dairy products.
Get direct sunlight on skin.
If non vegetarian, consume oily fish.
