My blood report shows a very low total vitamin D level of 6.53. My doctor advised me to take Vitamin D3 Uprise once a week. She said to take it in the morning, but I am not sure if it should be on an empty stomach or after breakfast. Can you guide me?

A vitamin D level of 6.53 is severely deficient. Uprise D3 cholecalciferol should be taken after a full meal, preferably breakfast, as it is a fat soluble vitamin and needs dietary fat for absorption. Continue weekly dosing as advised and monitor levels after 8 weeks.

I am in the IT profession and have been suffering from lower back pain for 2 years. I got a Vitamin D3 test done today and the result shows a level of 6.9 ng/ml. Does this mean I have a deficiency? If so, what are the risks and what are the ways to increase Vitamin D levels? Thanks.
