I'm a bit confused about my vitamin D3 situation. My level is 28.06, and I've been taking Lumia 60k every week, but it's giving me some side effects. I spoke with another doctor, and they recommended taking Lumia 60k just once a month instead of weekly. Could you help clarify what's the best approach for me?
