With a past kidney stone, vitamin D correction is usually safe and often necessary, but calcium supplements should be taken carefully and only in the dose needed, along with plenty of water and always with food, as taking calcium on an empty stomach can increase stone risk. Collagen is not essential and is best avoided until your urine calcium and 24-hour urine studies are checked.
Next Steps
Get serum calcium, vitamin D, PTH and urine calcium done, drink 3 litres water daily, and take supplements only in the reviewed dose - you can book a Practo teleconsult with me or visit me at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj for the plan.

Serum calcium levels vary depending upon your albumin levels. So corrected calcium level needs to be considered. Not just serum calcium. We have both ionized and unionised calcium.
Secondly Dietary calcium: Eating calcium-rich foods (like milk and yogurt) is safe and helps prevent stones. Calcium in food binds to oxalate in your gut so your body passes it safely.
Calcium supplements: Taking pills between meals can raise calcium levels in your urine and increase stone risk. If your corrected calcium is still low,then take them with a meal to lower this risk.
Vitamin D supplements is not a problem unless you take very high dose, which again increases calcium absorption from gut and excretion in urine which increases risk of renal stone.
