Oral vitamin D supplementation has a high therapeutic window (1200-10,000 IU\/d well tolerated). Fortification of grains, cereal, milk, bread, fruit juice, yogurt, and cheese with vitamin D has been tried in different countries across the globe. From Indian perspective, fortification of food items which is virtually used by everyone would be ideal like fortified milk or cooking oil.
