Can I take Accrete d3 and Vitamin d3 together?

Why this happens

Accrete D3 already contains a significant dose of Vitamin D3 (Colecalciferol) along with calcium. Adding another Vitamin D3 supplement creates an 'additive effect', where the doses combine. Because Vitamin D is fat-soluble, the body stores the excess rather than getting rid of it, which can lead to toxic levels over time.

You should not take both of these together unless specifically told to do so by your doctor. Check the dose of your Vitamin D3 supplement and show it to your GP or pharmacist. They will decide if the extra dose is necessary for you or if you should stop one of them to avoid Vitamin D toxicity.
