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.

Question

My report shows Vitamin B12 level at 169 and Vitamin D3 level at 14. I have been experiencing symptoms like inflammation around the anus and general body discomfort. I started treatment with five doses of Eldervit 12 injection and two doses of Arachitol 6L. Although the symptoms improved, some of them have returned. I am also taking Caldikind Plus one tablet daily, Neurobion two tablets daily, and Uprise D3 once a week. I would like to know how many more doses I should take and when I can expect complete relief from all symptoms.

Please suggest the report results. I always have brain fog and back head pain. While walking I feel like I may fall down and sudden movement of the head causes dizziness. Eye movement is also difficult.
