The NHS recommend that everyone should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D during the autumn and winter.
As you mention Letrozole in the title of your question, I assume you might be taking this for treatment of breast cancer and therefore have included Breast Cancer Now’s information on Looking after your bones, which includes information on recommended vitamin D amounts to take.
For more specific advice tailored to yourself you should speak to your hospital team or GP.
