I got my blood test report, which shows that I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. However, I eat eggs and other non vegetarian foods regularly, so I am not sure why my levels are low. What could be the reason, and how can I bring my B12 levels back to normal?

You may have absorption issues like gastritis or low intrinsic factor. B12 injections or high dose oral supplements may be needed.

Sir/Madam, my test report shows that my Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels are very low. Could you please suggest some medicines for this?

Hi, Is it safe to take vitamin tablets daily? If so, which ones should I take? I have been diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency, and I am considering taking all vitamin supplements regularly.
