Can I take flaxseed powder in the morning on an empty stomach while I am on medication for Vitamin D3 deficiency (level 3.17 ng/mL) and PCOS? All my other tests are normal. I have attached my scan report and medication details for reference. Please review and advise as soon as possible. Thank you.

Yes, flaxseed is safe and can support hormone balance. Your Vitamin D3 level is low, and supplementation is necessary. Continue PCOS medication as prescribed. Review with doctor regularly.

Hello, Could you please suggest the best vitamin D capsules or supplements? My friend vitamin D level is 15?ng/mL. I have advised her to get at least 30 minutes of morning sunlight daily.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hello Doctor. I have done a full body checkup including blood test, urine test, LFT, and vitamin D. I found my vitamin D level very low at 4.5 ng/ml. Should I go for further tests, or can you suggest some supplements? I have attached my report. One reason for low vitamin D is lack of sunlight exposure, which I will take care of now. Please suggest.
