Vitamin D insufficiency
Had tested myself for Vitamin D and the same came out at 14.20 ng/ml. Need medicine for rectifying the same.
Vitamin D defciency ia very common in these days due to the less exposure of sunligjt as well as foods deficient in vitamin D.
The vit D deficiency can cause multiple joint pain, hair loss, muscle cramps, bleeding irregularities in women etc.
Vit D deficiency is clubbed with calcium deficiency.
Calcium absorption is affected by vit D loss.
Next Steps
Have weekly once vitamin D sachet for at least 6 weeks.
and then continue the vitamin D sachet for another 3 weeks.
Vit D should be clubbed with tablet calcium so the absorption of calcium increases.
Do calcium tablet once a day along with vit D.
