Are you already taking any vitamin D?

GP will only prescribe to bring levels to 50nmol.

They should prescribe 1600iu per day for 6 months

But may be easier, especially in current virus situation simply to self supplement

improving vitamin D to around 80nmol or 100nmol may be better

Once you Improve level, likely you may need on going maintenance dose to keep it there.

Test twice yearly via vitamindtest.org.uk

Vitamin D mouth spray by Better You is very effective as it avoids poor gut function. There’s a version made that also contains vitamin K2 Mk7

It’s trial and error what dose we need

Government recommends everyone supplement October to April

Also read up on importance of magnesium and vitamin K2 Mk7 supplements when taking vitamins

Hi, how are you feeling at the moment?

It looks to me that your hormones are ok-ish, but of course you may require more. Anyway to me there seems to be some disconnect with TSH and hormone levels, which may indicate that your results are not entirely reliable.

Not what you're looking for?
