I recommend taking "Drisdol" at a dosage of 50,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks, followed by a maintenance dose of 800-2000 IU per day. For Vitamin B12 deficiency, I recommend taking "Cyanocobalamin" at a dosage of 1000 mcg once daily for a few weeks, followed by a maintenance dose of 100-200 mcg per day.

Question 2

I'm really struggling with a strong craving to eat raw rice, and I find myself doing it a lot. I've noticed that I've put on weight because of this, and I really want to stop. Could this be happening because I'm lacking something in my diet? What can...

Accepted Answer

Eating raw rice excessively, a condition known as pica, can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia. To address this issue, you can start taking iron supplements such as Ferrous Sulfate 325mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating iron-rich foods in your diet like spinach, red meat, and fortified cereals can help. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of your condition.
