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.

My 25 hydroxy vitamin D value is 10.4 ng/ml. According to the lab report, the minimum should be 20 ng/ml. I have to remain mostly indoors due to the nature of my job. Please suggest the daily dosage of vitamin D and the duration of medication required to attain and maintain normal levels.
