Can I take vitamin D supplements to increase my vitamin D levels and testosterone? I have heard that increasing vitamin D levels can naturally increase testosterone. Can I take vitamin D supplements even if my vitamin D levels are normal? I am allergic to cod liver oil tablets.

Yes, Vitamin D may help naturally support testosterone levels, especially if low. However, if your levels are already normal, avoid high dose supplements without checking again. You can take 1000 to 2000 IU daily as maintenance if advised by doctor. Avoid cod liver oil if allergic.

I still experience chest pain when I speak loudly, shout, or get angry, and the pain spreads and continues until I lie down or someone rubs my back. I also feel pain while climbing stairs. All tests, including CT Angiography, came back normal, and my cardiologist confirmed no cardiac issues, yet my symptoms persist with no improvement. I am now totally confused about what to do next.

I have vitamin D and calcium deficiency. However, taking calcium supplements causes my hair to turn gray. I tried taking calcium with vitamin D, but after stopping the vitamin D dosage, my vitamin D levels went down again.
