Yes, vitamin D3 is one form of vitamin D, while total vitamin D measures all forms in the blood. You should consult a doctor or nutritionist regarding folic acid and vitamin D deficiencies. These deficiencies can be corrected with supplements and a balanced diet that includes leafy greens, dairy, legumes, fatty fish, and regular exposure to sunlight.
