Dear sir Now a days it's very common to have Vit. D deficiency even in our country. Possible causes as you said poor absorption but simultaneously adequate exposure also matters. Now coming to remedy- it's advisable to have either injectable or oral formulation according to your physician's advise. Please correct deficit first, and then continue maintenance doses long time or I must say life time maintenance doses. Otherwise that repeated deficiencies lead to secondary changes and that becomes a sequelae. Take care sir.
