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?

I'm a bit confused about my vitamin tests. My doctor asked me to get a Vitamin D3 test, but the blood testing apps I use only have this test called Vitamin D total. Are they the same thing, or do they measure different aspects of vitamin D? I want to make sure I'm getting the right test done.

both are almost same for evaluation
