Does taking Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 60,000 IU two weeks before a Vitamin D test affect the test results?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Taking 60,000 IU cholecalciferol within 2 weeks can raise serum levels temporarily and affect test accuracy. Its best to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks after stopping supplements before retesting Vitamin D to assess baseline level accurately. You should retest only after the washout period for reliable results.
