My Vitamin D level is low at 21.5 nmol/L, what medicines or supplements should I take?

Asked by Female, 34 · 2 days ago

Your Vitamin D level of 21.5 nmol/L is deficient. To safely correct this, you will likely need a high-dose Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplement. Doctors typically prescribe a 'loading dose' of 20,000 to 50,000 IU once weekly for 6 to 8 weeks, followed by a daily maintenance dose of 800 to 2,000 IU. Since Vitamin D is fat-soluble, take your supplement with a meal containing healthy fats for better absorption. Please consult your doctor for a specific prescription tailored to your health profile, and plan to recheck your blood levels in 3 months.
