Question 1

After pregnancy, my wife developed severe pain in lower bones and back. I consulted a doctor (GYN and OBS) who advised a blood check up. Blood report results show calcium 10.40 mg/dL, TSH by CLIA Serum 3.41 ?IU/mL, Free T4 Serum by CLIA 1.17 ng/dL, Free T3 Serum by CLIA 2.32 pg/mL, 25 Hydroxy (OH) Vitamin D Serum 11.66 ng/mL.

She has been prescribed T. Shelcal HD and T. Losmia 60K for 8 weeks. After taking medicine for about 4 weeks, she did not find any relief in the pain. Do I need to take a second opinion on the same or wait for more time?

One of my friends advised to ask our doctor for vitamin D3 injection, as it will be very effective. Please advise or guide me. Should I go for a second opinion or ask my doctor for vitamin D3 injection? Please suggest some D3 injections which are good to take and available in the market? Thanks in advance for your suggestions and advice.

Question 2

Hello, Could you please suggest the best vitamin D capsules or supplements? My friend vitamin D level is 15?ng/mL. I have advised her to get at least 30 minutes of morning sunlight daily.

Question 3

I am looking for the best calcium supplement to strengthen my bones for the long term. I have been taking Uprise D3 60,000 IU for two months and am attaching my recent report for your reference.

Hi, my vitamin D results are showing 8.95. Shall I take vitamin D tablets or shall I focus on having vitamin D foods? Please suggest.

A level of 8.95 is very low. You should take Vitamin D3 supplements (usually 60,000 IU weekly for 6 to 8 weeks). Sunlight and food alone are not enough to correct this level.
