I recently took a vitamin D3 test and my results came insufficient. I want to know the proper dosage for increasing it above 40 ng/ml?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Vitamin D insufficiency is common and can be corrected with supplements. Typical treatment includes Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once weekly for 6 to 8 weeks, then once monthly for maintenance. Take the tablet with a meal containing healthy fats for better absorption. Regular sunlight exposure for 15 to 20 minutes daily helps maintain levels. After completing your course, repeat Vitamin D test to ensure it has reached above 40 ng/ml.

Take a Vitamin D Test Test or Take a PTH Test (Parathyroid Hormone) Test

View allI have been experiencing throat pain and irritation for the past few months. The pain is not constant but occurs suddenly, and there is no pain while swallowing. In the last 2 to 3 months, I have also noticed an urge to take deep breaths more often and occasional shortness of breath. This does not occur at night while sleeping, but starts during daily activities after waking up. I consulted a family doctor, who advised blood tests. The results show an IgE level of 740 and vitamin D3 deficiency at 15.55. The rest of the CBC results are normal. Kindly suggest what should be done?
