Question 1

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?

Question 2

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 3

Can I take vitamin D supplements to increase my vitamin D levels and testosterone? I have heard that increasing vitamin D levels can naturally increase testosterone. Can I take vitamin D supplements even if my vitamin D levels are normal? I am allergic to cod liver oil tablets.

Gastric problems with low Vitamin D and B12 often point to poor gut absorption. Long term allopathy can cause this. Homeopathy may support symptoms but should be combined with diet and supplements. Repeat Vitamin D and B12 after 8 weeks.
