View allCould you tell me how often I should take the Calcirol sachet for Vitamin D? Is it supposed to be once a week? And for how long should I continue before stopping or taking a break? I'm wondering if there's a specific cycle or schedule I should follow.
It depends on how much is your vitamin d3 levels. Mostly we prescribe or i prescribe it to be taken once a week for 12 weeks. You could even use D3 must 60k tablets once a week for 12 weeks if you dont like the granules. Also get adequate sunlight daily. This is also important.

I've been practicing intermittent fasting for quite a while now, and it's really helped me shed a lot of fat. Plus, I do a 36-hour fast once every month. But recently, I found out I have Hypothyroidism and I'm now on thyroxine tablets on an empty stomach every morning, and I take a Vitamin D3 tablet once a week. I did mention my fasting routine to my doctor, but I completely forgot to ask if it's okay to keep doing it with my thyroid meds. And since he didn't say I should stop, I'm kind of unsure. So, is it safe to continue intermittent fasting while taking thyroid medication, or should I be concerned?
Yes you can continue fasting while on thyroid medicines In fact if you loose weight your metabolic status might get better Continue the thyroid replacement also

I'm a bit concerned because my recent test showed my vitamin D level is 10.4 ngmL. I'm an eggetarian, so I don't eat meat, but I do include eggs in my diet. I'm not really feeling any typical symptoms of vitamin D deficiency right now, but I'm wondering what supplements I should consider and if there are any changes I need to make in my diet. Could you help me figure out how to improve my vitamin D levels?
