I have vitamin D and calcium deficiency. However, taking calcium supplements causes my hair to turn gray. I tried taking calcium with vitamin D, but after stopping the vitamin D dosage, my vitamin D levels went down again.

Deficiency in vitamin D and calcium may require long term care. Hair greying from calcium is rare could be coincidental. If vitamin D drops again, maintenance doses may help. Retest before adjusting supplements. Get a repeat Vitamin D Test and Serum Calcium Test.

I have been having lower back pain. I took MRI, which showed a mild bulge at L2, L3, and L4. My report mentions spondylitis. I already took a one-month course of calcium and vitamin D3 and also underwent acupuncture treatment, but stiffness and pain persist. I have been suffering from this severe problem for the last 4 years?
