It is advisable that you get exposure for atleast a minimum of 15mins per day. I would advise you to do this rather than taking any supplements at this point as it can still be reverted without the need for supplements at this point. Make a known effort to get some sun and it can also reduce the risk for skin infections and other roblems but if you're insistent then you can have a weekly vitamin D satchet in water.
