Going back to your other post healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

So it's not 600mg colecalciferol, it's 600mg calcium and 400iu colecalciferol (10mcg D3).

Nobody can tell you if you need to take more Vit D unless you answer the question about what is your Vit D level, I presume this has been tested. Can you please post your level and say whether the unit of measurement is nmol/L or ng/ml then we can help about how much Vit D you should be taking.

Also, have you had calcium tested, as asked in the other post.

By the way, that supplement contains soya oil, if you are hypothyroid you should be avoiding all soy.

That's a pathetically small dose for someone who is actually deficient. It would be a maintenance dose for a healthy child with good levels. I wouldn't want to take something containing soya and sucrose. What were your vitamin D blood test results? Do you actually need extra calcium?
