Hi any help be great I've got covid so couldn't go in for recent blood test Did some private online to check vitamin D
Before I was 23 umol test come back 57 now I've been on loading dose for 4 weeks ( 1 tablet per week 25000 vitamin d3)
Does this sound about right 23-57 in that time and shall I carry on with one a week? Waiting on calcium result.
Shame with covid my appointment got cancelled with doctor to discuss tsh going from 2.8 to 3.15 and now 3.20. doctor says normal on phone I'm in no medication just the vitamin D
T4 13.7
Thank you 💕 any tips on covid too be great help.

Well the vit D increase vs dosage seem broadly consistent with my brother's and dad's but we are all individual. With yourloading doses, it seems like youre probably following a doctor's directions otherwise maybe check Grassroots calculator.
Re covid, you may be interested in the recent video below from Dr J Campbell reviewing 5RCTs confirming much scientific evidence that vit D levels (significantly above yours) impressively protects against (viruses like) covid. Ive mentioned this before on this and other fora. NB vit D is not the only immune-optimiser. youtu.be/x5sc7G4s4CY
My family and I aim to maintain at 100-125nmol/l ie optimum, which covers most reports on health (incl covid protection!).Google/use Grassroots Health calculator and regular vit D blood tests to get there eg via doctors or £31 at vitamindtest.org.uk/
