Default Vitamin D

i just found out my vit D level is 24 which is pretty low. normal is 32 to 100.
i've been doing some research on this and found that vit D is needed to modulate the immune system as well as for good bones.

i went to the supplement site here and got some good info.
but, does anyone have any experience with low levels and how did you best get them up. how long did it take?

my dr said to take 800 IU/day. i already get 800 IU/day in my Calcium with D supplement and 400 IU with my multivit. maybe i'm not absorbing it.

anyway, just interested to see if you all have knowledge about this.
thanks,
