thanks for the reply. My Vit D3 levels are 31 nm/l, doctors say its normal and I dont need any supplements. However, I could figure out that the levels are surely towards the lower range. So I'm taking 1000 IU supplement of D3, 1200mg calcium. Magnesium 40 mg and zinc 7.5 mg. Looking at the levels, ...
