I'm worried because my Vitamin D levels are really low, and my doctor prescribed me DRise 60000 IU. I'm not sure if I should take it with milk or water. The doctor didnt mention it. What's the best way to take this supplement?

Can take DRise 60000 IU with water. It is usually recommended to take Vitamin D supplements with water for better absorption. The usual dosage is once a week for 8 weeks, followed by once a month for maintenance.

I'm a bit confused about my vitamin tests. My doctor asked me to get a Vitamin D3 test, but the blood testing apps I use only have this test called Vitamin D total. Are they the same thing, or do they measure different aspects of vitamin D? I want to make sure I'm getting the right test done.
