Hi doctor,
How much vitamin D should I take on a daily basis? I am 50 years old. What is the most you can take? What are the normal levels of vitamin D? Thanks.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- It depends whether you are deficient or not. You should check your vitamin D levels first. The normal level will be more than 30 ng/mL.
- If you are deficient, then you need tablet Uprise D3 60k (Cholecalciferol), once a week for eight weeks. Then once a month for six months. The preventive dose is 2000 IU per day.
- Most of the calcium supplements like Shelcal HD (Calcium carbonate and Vitamin D3), also contains some vitamin D.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
