You can give your 7 year old 2000 units of vit D 3 which is better absorbed. Make sure to get levels rechecked in several months. Also make sure there is adequate calcium intake
1000 IU of over the counter vitamin D3 daily IF you live in a low-sunlight northern climate. Have the levels rechecked after 6-12 months. If you live in a sunny area, outdoor play is a great way to get natural vitamin D production in the body.
