Calton D is Contains calcium and vitamin D, you can take it for your low calcium, though low calcium does not always suggest deficiency of calcium, but as it is a supplement no harm in taking for a short while, do not take it longer than 6 months with evaluation. As vit F toxicity is know n off. As for your lipid profile, the results are on higher side though not something you should be really worried of. If you have no risk factors o would suggest lifestyle modifications, life cutting oil/fat in your diet, substitution with healthy oil like olive, supplements like omega 3 fatty acid flax seeds and otherwise. Rpt lipid profile after 3 months and if still high than start a medication for it, in my practice I have seem patients becoming complacent when they see the cholesterol coming down with meds and make no effort to change their unhealthy lifestyle. We have to understand cholesterol is not the only risk factor for all future problems of blood pressure, heart problems, stroke, diabetes and changing overall will help. Also if we follow guidelines, it is not prudent to start lipikind at your test s when there is no other risk factor. Regards Dr priyank mody
