Your calcium and Vitamin B12 levels are perfectly normal, while your Vitamin D is a bit low. Your doctor's prescription of weekly Vitamin D3 (Uprise) and daily calcium/D3 (Shelcal) is a safe, appropriate way to boost your levels. For best absorption, take your weekly Uprise with your heaviest meal of the day, as healthy fats help it absorb. Take your daily Shelcal after a meal to prevent stomach upset. Since your B12 level is healthy, concurrent B12 supplementation is not necessary right now.
