If Vitamin D is low, cholecalciferol 60k IU weekly for 8 weeks may be advised. For cholesterol issues, lifestyle modifications or statins may be needed depending on LDL.

I am pregnant and have a Vitamin D deficiency. My neurologist prescribed Nervon Forte. Is it safe to take this medicine during pregnancy?

Hi, I am a 20 year old female recently diagnosed with a very low vitamin D level, my 25(OH) Vitamin D (total) result was less than 8.0 ng per mL, based on a blood test done around 4 months ago. I was advised to take Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week for 2 months. However, since I also have vitiligo and am currently undergoing depigmentation treatment, I strictly avoid sun exposure. I have heard that in such cases, a longer term vitamin D supplement may be necessary. Could you please guide me on how much vitamin D I should be taking daily in my situation? Also, should I be taking magnesium supplements alongside, and if so, in what dosage?

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?
