Is 25(OH) Vitamin D the same as Vitamin D3? My recent report shows 25(OH) Vitamin D is 55.90. Eight months ago, my Vitamin D3 level was 13, and I took Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week for 3 months. I started taking it again for the past 1 month. Should I continue taking Vitamin D3 60,000 IU or stop now? Also, my current Vitamin B12 level is 494. Should I continue the B12 tablets or stop them?

25(OH) Vitamin D is used to assess vitamin D status. Your current level (55.9) is sufficient, you may stop weekly D3 and continue monthly maintenance. B12 is 494 (normal), stop if no deficiency symptoms.

I recently took a vitamin D3 test and my results came insufficient. I want to know the proper dosage for increasing it above 40 ng/ml?

I am a male 30 years old. I got my vitamin D test report and it was 6.25. I am feeling feverish, chills, and tiredness. Is this because of low vitamin D deficiency? Which specialist doctor should I consult? Can I know the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency because I am feeling other diseases also?
