Two months ago, my blood report showed Vitamin D3 at 17, and I started taking one tablet weekly as prescribed. After two months, my Vitamin D3 level has dropped to 9. Which supplement should I take for faster recovery, considering that relying on sunlight is not an option?

Levels dropping despite weekly dose suggests poor absorption or underdosing. Consider 60,000 IU instead of 10k weekly or switch to daily oral spray or sublingual form.

Hello Doctor. Please see my report and advise me on treatment and medicine. My vitamin D level is very low. Can I take cod liver oil tablets and Uprise D3 pack? Please advise me on what to do?

Does taking Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 60,000 IU two weeks before a Vitamin D test affect the test results?
