Question

I'm curious about vitamin D3 deficiency and how often I should take supplements. Is it more effective to take them weekly or just once a month? And how long should I be on them to see improvements?

If you have a vitamin D deficiency, it's typically recommended to take vitamin D3 weekly or monthly, depending on the severity of the deficiency, as prescribed by your doctor. Once your levels improve, your doctor will guide you on maintaining your levels with a daily dose or periodic supplementation.

Question

I'm really thin and have been since I was a kid. No matter how much I eat, I just can't seem to put on weight. Do you have any advice or could there be some underlying issue that's causing this?

Question

I'm a bit worried about my grandma who's 84. She's been taking Cordarone 200mg since June for her heart issues. But recently, during a health checkup, they found her thyroid levels to be really high, like 30.91H. They've put her on medication for that too. Is it safe for her to keep taking Cordarone with this thyroid issue?

Question

I'm 17 and I've been worrying about my height lately. I'm around 5 feet 9 inches, but all my friends seem taller, like around 5ft 10 to 6ft. I kinda stopped getting taller when I was 14. I do lift weights, though nothing too intense. Is there anything I could do to possibly grow a couple more inches? I'd love to hit around 5 feet 11 or even 6 feet. Any advice would be great.
