Question 1

I have pain in my hands and legs, but there is no swelling. My blood report, sugar, BP, and CBP are all normal. This has been happening for the last 15 days and it is not affecting my routine activities. What could be the cause?

Question 2

Hi, my vitamin D results are showing 8.95. Shall I take vitamin D tablets or shall I focus on having vitamin D foods? Please suggest.

Question 3

Hi, I am a 20 year old female recently diagnosed with a very low vitamin D level, my 25(OH) Vitamin D (total) result was less than 8.0 ng per mL, based on a blood test done around 4 months ago. I was advised to take Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week for 2 months. However, since I also have vitiligo and am currently undergoing depigmentation treatment, I strictly avoid sun exposure. I have heard that in such cases, a longer term vitamin D supplement may be necessary. Could you please guide me on how much vitamin D I should be taking daily in my situation? Also, should I be taking magnesium supplements alongside, and if so, in what dosage?

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.

Your friends vitamin D is quite low at 15. Sunlight is great, but she will also need a supplement. You can suggest one capsule of D3 Must 60K, Depura 60K, or Calcirol 60K once weekly for 6 to 8 weeks. After that, one per month as maintenance. Retest in 2 to 3 months.
