The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of vitamin D supplementation among individuals with chronic SCI. The primary aim is to study whether different dosages (24'000 IU/month or 48'000 IU/month) of vitamin D supplementation over 12 months will lead to differences in vitamin D status as well as differences in several other outcomes. The use of both a placebo group and a natural time course group as reference groups supports the evaluation of dose-response effects of vitamin D supplementation on the primary outcome (vitamin D status) and secondary outcomes (including bone density and mood) that are not only supported by randomized controlled trial standards but also informative in clinical practice.
