Yes you can take but you have to take it daily. Dosage is different for both, if you are taking 60k it will be weekly. And if you want to take daily you have to take 2000 per day cholecalciferol

Calcigen D3 is not a substitute for Arachitol Nano â they are very different. Arachitol Nano contains 60,000 IU of Vitamin D3 and is prescribed specifically to treat Vitamin D deficiency. Calcigen D3 is a calcium supplement that contains only a small amount of Vitamin D3 (around 250 IU), which is nowhere near enough to treat a deficiency. Switching on your own could mean your deficiency goes untreated. If cost is a concern, speak to your doctor â there are much cheaper alternatives with the same 60,000 IU dose, like D-Rise or Uprise D3 sachets, which work just as well and are far more affordable. Ask your doctor if they can switch you to one of those.
