I recently got my full body blood tests back, and while most results seem alright, my Vitamin D level is at 6 and Vitamin B12 is at 160. I don't really have the typical symptoms associated with these deficiencies, but I'm kind of concerned and want to address them. Any advice on what I should do?

For Vitamin D deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin D supplements such as "Caltrate" or "Nature Made Vitamin D3". For Vitamin B12 deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin B12 supplements such as "Nature Made Vitamin B12" or "Solgar Methylcobalamin". It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper dosage and duration of supplementation.

I'm 17, around 72 kg, and have male breasts. Not sure if it's gynecomastia or just chest fat since I'm on the heavier side. Surgery isn't an option for me can this be treated with medication? It's been like this for 3 years and really affects my confidence. Are there any non-surgical solutions?
