Take cap uprise d3 once a week for 8 weeks with milk.
Take tab calcimax 500 mg once a day for a month
Add dairy products in ur diet
U don't need injection at 24 level
Also anxiety and insomnia are unlikely to be because of low vitamin d so if u are experiencing that often please consult so that we can discuss ur complaints in detail and i can guide u accordingly
