I'm experiencing some weird symptoms lately like fatigue, weakness, hair loss, tiredness, and leg pain at night, along with some muscle pain and a bit of depression. I came across something online that suggests these might be signs of vitamin D deficiency. Could that be true for me? If I want to check, is there a specific test I should go for? Also, since I'm a vegetarian and don't eat eggs, I'm curious how I can naturally boost my vitamin D levels through diet or exercise without resorting to medicine. How long would it typically take to see any changes if I start making adjustments?

I'm concerned about my vitamin D levels being low, and my doctor suggested I take UPRISE D3 60K once a week for the next 10 weeks. I was wondering if I can also take SevenSeas Cod Liver Oil capsules along with it? And if so, is it safe to take one capsule three times a day after meals?

Uprise D3 60k once a week is good. You can take cod liver oil along with that no problems but not three times a day. Only once a day after food is enough. Also you need to drink one glass of milk every night before bed.
