How to increase my very low vitamin D level, which is around 5?

A vitamin D level of 5 is very low, but it can be improved with the right treatment. Usually, doctors recommend vitamin D supplements such as Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week for 6 to 8 weeks, followed by a lower maintenance dose. Along with this, try to get 10 to 15 minutes of morning sunlight and include foods like eggs, milk, fish, and fortified cereals.
What should be the dosage of Calcitas-D3 60K Granules 1 gm, and should it be taken on an empty stomach or with food?

Calcitas-D3 60K Granules contain Vitamin D3 (60,000 IU), and the dosage depends on your age, vitamin D level, and doctor’s advice, often prescribed once weekly for a few weeks. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with a meal containing some fat may help absorption. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and avoid changing the dose on your own.
