Whats the ideal vitamin D range for women? I got my vitamin D levels checked today and theyre at 44. Based on this, should I be considering any supplements? Also, I sometimes take Shelcal HD on and off.

The normal vitamin D range for women is typically between 30 to 50 ngmL. Since your vitamin D level is 44 ngmL, it falls within the normal range. However, if you have symptoms of vitamin D deficiency or if your doctor recommends it, you can consider taking supplements. Shelcal HD is a good calcium supplement, but for vitamin D supplementation, you can consider taking "D-rise" 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks followed by "Uprise D3" 60,000 IU once a month. Be sure to follow your doctor's advice regarding supplementation.
