Vitamin d def.

2026-09-11 12:25:33
I am 23 years old. I had a stomach ulcer in 2023 and around the same time my vitamin D level was low (19 ng/mL). I took Vitamin D3 60,000 IU capsules once a week for 12 weeks. After taking the last capsule I started urinating frequently about an hour later and this continued for around 2 days so I stopped taking Vitamin D3. Now I feel that my vitamin D may be low again. Could you please advise me on how I should safely correct my vitamin D level? What is the ideal 25(OH)D level for someone my age and should I get my vitamin D and calcium levels checked before restarting supplementation?

After a 12-week course of 60,000 IU weekly, do not restart the same high dose on your own. Recheck 25(OH)D; many labs consider 20–50 ng/mL adequate, and treatment should follow your current result. Urinary frequency and lower abdominal discomfort need evaluation if persistent—check urine, blood sugar, calcium and kidney function instead of assuming it is vitamin D. Calcium supplements are not routinely needed unless dietary intake is low or prescribed. Share your reports in a Practo consultation with me before restarting.

According to information you have given usually 12 weeks of suppliment of vit D is enough to increase the levels.The increased frequency is not directly related to the vit D suppliment. I advise you to have urine examination and it is best to test your vit D levels and consult general physician about further continuation of supplement

Sunlight is the only source for converting vit d3 into 25hydroxycholesterol in your skin so my advice would be getting plentiful sunlight early morning

Frequent urination may or may not be related to the vit d supplementation. So while you check your vit D and serum calcium levels, you should get your kidney function test also checked. Ideal levels of 25 oh d is 50-80 ng/ml… according to your history, you checked it last in 2023… vit d levels can change a lot in this time period.

Frequent urination after a vitamin D3 course can sometimes point to a calcium imbalance, so it's worth having this checked before you restart any supplement.
Next Steps
Get your vitamin D and calcium levels tested again, and share both with a doctor before starting a new dose.
Health Tips
Please don't repeat a high-dose vitamin D3 course on your own until your levels are rechecked.
