It is a fat soluble vitamin. Therefore the powder form
is advised to be taken in milk which has milk fats. If taken in water it
should be after a proper meal, either lunch or dinner.
Any form
of Vitamin D (capsule, tablet, liquid, or powder) should be taken after
food that has fat content to improve the absorption.
Never take it with tea, coffee, green tea, colas, chocolate drinks, or any caffeine based drinks. Absorption will be poor.
Allopathic drugs like statins for cholesterol, laxatives, steroids,
anti-epileptic drugs, antacids, diuretics (in many BP lowering drugs)
can lower Vitamin D levels in the body.
The dose of 60000 units
is generally applicable for all age groups unless prescribed otherwise.
Please check with your physician the dosage recommended in your case.
