Brief Summary
The investigators want to make sure that people get the right dose of Vitamin D treatment. They will therefore investigate how skin colour, body mass index, ethnicity, vitamin D binding protein and genetic variation affect the response to a standard course of vitamin D in young adults, as a prelude to further studies in younger children.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Increase in serum 25 hydroxyvitaminD (25OHD) levels
Increase in serum 25OHD levels by at least 25 nmol/L in the majority of the participants, 4 weeks after administration of 150,000 units of vitamin D, according to genotype and ethnicity.
Participants will be followed for the duration of the study, an expected average of 4 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Determine if dark skin colour or South Asian heritage reduces the increase in serum 25OHD.
Participants will be followed for the duration of the study, an expected average of 4 weeks
Change in serum calculated free vitamin D
Participants will be followed for the duration of the study, an expected average of 4 weeks
Determine if variation in Group specific component(GC) genotype is associated with variation in the increase in serum 25OHD.
Participants will be followed for the duration of the study, an expected average of 4 weeks
Determine the extent of parathyroid hormone (PTH) suppression in relation to overall increases in total and free serum 25OHD
Participants will be followed for the duration of the study, an expected average of 4 weeks
Other Outcomes (1)
Evidence of hypercalciuria
Participants will be followed for the duration of the study, an expected average of 4 weeks
Study Arms (1)

EXPERIMENTALAnthropometry measurement, Skin colour grading using Fitzpatrick scale, Dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D using food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), Baseline fasting blood samples for vitamin D, VDBP, VDBP genotype, Calcium, Phosphorus, Albumin, Parathyroid Hormone(PTH), Alkaline Phosphatase, Bone turnover markers(P1NP, CTX). Fasting urine for Calcium Creatinine ratio. Saliva for bio-available Free Vitamin D measurement. Vitamin D administration under direct supervision. Spot Urine sample for calcium : creatinine ratio after a week. Repeat all measurements done at baseline except VDBP genotype 4 weeks from baseline.
