Question 1

Hi doctor, earlier I had updated my blood report and you suggested me to take multivitamins with minerals. I am again updating my blood report. I sometimes feel fatigue and sudden dizziness but otherwise I am eating well, sleeping, and working normally. Please suggest some multivitamins that I can take. Thank you.

Question 3

My latest blood report shows that I have low Vitamin B12 at 102 which should be above 211 and a high uric acid level of 9.5 which should be below 7. I need to know if I can take a Vitamin B12 tablet called Cobal 500 mcg Mecobalamin to increase my Vitamin B12 levels.

How does a CBC test show vitamin and mineral deficiencies?

CBC test is done by pricking or collecting venous blood. The test shows the nutritional status of the micronutrient blood levels of vitamins and minerals in the body. If the levels are too low, then it indicates the need of supplements which are crucial for your health.
