Hi I am 28 years olds, I had a complete body check up , and it is found that I had vitamin-d insufficient I.e 21 instead of 40-100. Just at the edge of deficiency, I am using shelcal ct but I am getting gas due to that can you please provide non gas vitamin-d tabs. I also lost 2 kgs on 2 months is this due to vitamin problem or due to I have stopped eating outside food since two months.
