Question 1

I'm curious about how many doses of the Vitcofol injection it usually takes to see results for a B12 deficiency. My doctor prescribed me 5 doses along with a B29 tablet, but I'm wondering if this is standard or if I should expect to see improvements sooner. Can anyone share insights or experiences with this treatment?

Accepted Answer

Vitafol (Vitamin B12) injections typically show results within:

Timeframe for Results

1. Improved energy levels: 2-4 doses
2. Enhanced cognitive function: 3-6 doses
3. Normalized hemoglobin levels: 4-6 doses
4. Complete recovery: 6-12 doses (depending on severity)

Factors Influencing Response

1. Severity of B12 deficiency
2. Dosage and frequency of injections
3. Individual metabolism and absorption
4. Concurrent medication usage
5. Underlying health conditions

Monitoring Progress

1. Regular blood tests (e.g., hemoglobin, vitamin B12 levels)
2. Clinical evaluations (e.g., energy levels, cognitive function)
3. Dietary adjustments (e.g., B12-rich foods, supplements)

Tablet B29 (Folic Acid)

1. Supports B12 absorption and utilization
2. Enhances red blood cell production
3. May be prescribed concurrently with Vitafol injections

Question 2

Can taking AMWAY tri folic supplements help boost my HB levels? My current HB is 12.7, and I'm a 30-year-old male with a metabolic age of 35. What's your advice on this?

Accepted Answer

your hemoglobin is just below the normal range. SO just start consuming fruits ,greeny vegetables

Question 3

I'm really concerned about my mom who's 62. She doesn't have a fever or any other symptoms, but her platelet count dropped to 44k even though she tested negative for the NS1 Ag dengue test. Her doctor started her on 30mg of steroids, and her platelet count is now up to 87k. I'm worried about whether her bone marrow might not be working properly. Could it be possible that only her platelets are affected if her RBC and WBC levels are normal?

Accepted Answer

all are same

I'm a bit worried because my B12 level is 50, suggesting a deficiency, but all my CBC measurements are in the normal range. Should I be concerned about anything specific? Also, since it seems like I've had this B12 deficiency for years, what kind of effects might this have had on my body?

yes
