I'm really worried about my wife Priyanka's health. She's 31 and her Vitamin D levels are down to 5.7 ngml, and her Vitamin B12 is at 89 pgml. I'm concerned about what kind of problems she might face with these low levels. What should we do to get her back on track?

.vitamin b12 deficiency can lead to anaemia, neuropathy, hyperpigmentation of knuckles, oral cavity, etc. Vitamin d deficiency can lead to osteoporosis, reduced calcium levels, make her susceptible to autoimmune disease like alopecia, diabetes, thyroid disorders. For treatment she can take 1. tablet becosules daily once after food in the afternoon for 1 month. 2. Tablet uprise d3 60000 IU once per week after food for 8 weeks. After completion of the tablets she repeat the investigations and check the levels.
