My recent blood test shows a Vitamin D level of 12.08 ng/mL, while my serum calcium level is normal at 10 mg/dL. Should I take only a Vitamin D supplement, or a combination of Vitamin D with calcium? Please advise. I have attached my report for reference.

You have vitamin D deficiency. Calcium is normal, so only Vitamin D3 supplements (like cholecalciferol) are required unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
