I've recently taken my mom for a health check-up, and her results showed that she's low on Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D. Her Vitamin B12 level is 133 pgml, and her Vitamin D is 12.5 ngml. I'm really concerned and would love to know what might be causing these deficiencies and what kind of treatments are available. Also, which type of specialist should we see to get this sorted out?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can be caused by poor diet, malabsorption issues, or certain medications, while vitamin D deficiency often results from inadequate sun exposure or poor dietary intake. Treatment typically involves supplements and dietary adjustments. It's best to consult a general physician or a specialist in nutrition or endocrinology for further guidance and treatment.
