Great that you are focusing on bone health. After high dose Vitamin D, you can shift to a maintenance dose. Calcium citrate is usually well absorbed. Include milk, leafy greens, and regular walking, too. Opt for early morning sunlight walks.

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been suffering from a slipped disc for the past four months. My blood report shows a deficiency in Vitamin B12 and D3. Could you please suggest which calcium supplement or medicines I should take for these deficiencies? Currently, I am taking Gemcal Plus.
