I'm looking at these numbers on my health report and I'm a bit concerned. My GGT level is 130, which I know isnt great. I dont drink, and I try to keep a fairly healthy lifestyle. I had a baby about a year ago and recently recovered from Covid. Also, my T4 level is showing as 3.8, which seems low, and my Vitamin B12 is high. Could this be from the postnatal vitamins I was taking, which I've stopped now? Id really appreciate your advice on what could be going on.

GGT level of 130, as it may indicate liver stress or bile duct issues, potentially related to postpartum hormonal changes, COVID-19 infection, or other factors, and also review your thyroid function, as a low T4 level of 3.8 may suggest hypothyroidism, although your Vitamin B12 levels are high, likely due to postnatal supplements get s liver function tests, thyroid antibody tests, or an ultrasound, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

I've been told I have a Vitamin D level of 12 ngml. I'm currently using Calcerol sachets as a supplement once each week. Is this the right choice, and how long should I continue with it?

Your Vitamin D level is low at 12 ngml. Taking Calcerol sachets once a week is a suitable supplement to increase your Vitamin D levels. You can continue taking Calcerol sachets once a week for at least 8-12 weeks to see an improvement in your Vitamin D levels. After that, your doctor may recommend a maintenance dose to keep your Vitamin D levels within the normal range.
