I'm really worried about my wife Priyanka's health. She's 31 and her Vitamin D levels are down to 5.7 ngml, and her Vitamin B12 is at 89 pgml. I'm concerned about what kind of problems she might face with these low levels. What should we do to get her back on track?

.vitamin b12 deficiency can lead to anaemia, neuropathy, hyperpigmentation of knuckles, oral cavity, etc. Vitamin d deficiency can lead to osteoporosis, reduced calcium levels, make her susceptible to autoimmune disease like alopecia, diabetes, thyroid disorders. For treatment she can take 1. tablet becosules daily once after food in the afternoon for 1 month. 2. Tablet uprise d3 60000 IU once per week after food for 8 weeks. After completion of the tablets she repeat the investigations and check the levels.

View allI'm concerned about my vitamin D levels being low, and my doctor suggested I take UPRISE D3 60K once a week for the next 10 weeks. I was wondering if I can also take SevenSeas Cod Liver Oil capsules along with it? And if so, is it safe to take one capsule three times a day after meals?
Uprise D3 60k once a week is good. You can take cod liver oil along with that no problems but not three times a day. Only once a day after food is enough. Also you need to drink one glass of milk every night before bed.

I'm a bit concerned because after taking Dulcoflex tablets, I've noticed that I'm urinating a lot more throughout the day and I'm also experiencing some weight loss. Could you help me figure out what's going on and suggest an alternative or a better approach?
I recommend you stop taking it. Instead, you can try using Senokot tablets. Take 1-2 tablets at bedtime as needed for constipation. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you continue to experience high urine output and weight loss, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm a 28-year-old woman working a desk job, and I've noticed my TSH level is at 8.67, even though my T3 and T4 are normal. I usually keep a pretty healthy lifestyleI'm vegetarian and consume a lot of milk-based products, plus I swim four days a week. Im 5 feet tall and weigh 50kgs. Recently, though, I've been off track with my diet, eating whatever whenever. I've had high TSH before but managed to lower it through lifestyle changes. Do you think adding a multivitamin could help if I focus on fixing my diet and sticking to regular exercise? Would love to hear your thoughts.
