Yes, you can safely take 60,000 IU vitamin D3 weekly, 100 mcg K2 daily, and 440 mg magnesium glycinate daily, especially given your low vitamin D levels.
Just monitor your blood levels every 8–12 weeks — your doctor may reduce your D3 dose once your levels normalize.
Next Steps
Start: 60,000 IU vitamin D3 weekly + 100 mcg K2 daily + 440 mg magnesium daily.
Recheck labs: Vitamin D, calcium (± PTH) after 8–12 weeks.
Adjust: If vitamin D >30 ng/mL, switch to maintenance dose (2,000–5,000 IU daily).
Monitor: Watch for symptoms of high calcium or side effects.
Health Tips
Watch for signs of high calcium (nausea, thirst, confusion) — rare but possible with high vitamin D.
If you take other supplements or medications, let me know — they can interact.

To naturally boost Vitamin D, include foods like fortified milk, fortified cereals, egg yolks, salmon, sardines, and cod liver oil. For Vitamin K2, add natto (fermented soybeans), hard cheeses, soft cheeses, egg yolks, chicken, and butter from grass-fed cows. Magnesium-rich foods include spinach, pumpkin seeds, almonds, cashews, peanuts, dark chocolate, and black beans. Sunlight exposure is also crucial for Vitamin D synthesis. Including these foods regularly can support better Vitamin D, K2, and magnesium levels naturally.

Your Vitamin D level of 16 ng/mL is quite low, so supplementation is needed. The dosage of 60,000 IU Vitamin D3 weekly, along with 100 mcg Vitamin K2 and 440 mg magnesium glycinate, should be confirmed with a physician first to ensure it's appropriate for your age and health status.
Next Steps
Diet recommendation to support Vitamin D levels:
Include fortified milk (dairy or plant-based), paneer, and curd
Morning Sunlight exposure for 15–20 mins daily
Egg yolks and mushrooms (sun-exposed)
Nuts, seeds, and leafy greens for magnesium support
Health Tips
For a personalized and well-balanced diet plan, I’d suggest booking a one-on-one consultation.

How they work together
Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb calcium
Vitamin K2 ensure calcium is directly to your bones and not your arteries
Magnesium: is needed for proper vitamin D metabolism and helps reduce any risk of vitamin D include calcium imbalance
Timings:
Take vitamin D after a meal with some fat foe better absorption
Take magnesium: in the evening, as it can promote relaxation and sleep
Vitamin K2 can be taken D3 or with food
Avoid taking calcium supplements simultaneously unless advised-focus more on food based sources if needed
Caution:
If you on blood thinners always consult a doctor before taking vitamin K2
If you have kidney issues or other chronic conditions, plz get personalised guidance

Hi
Please talk to your doctor before taking such high doses. Also mention if you have any underlying health issues. Check for the duration too, if you are taking large doses for more than the recommended time it can lead to toxicity.
