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.
