Question

I've been wondering why I have a deficiency in vitamin B12 and vitamin D3, even though I don't have any bad habits. I make sure to jog daily and follow a healthy diet. What could be the reasons behind this?

I'm really concerned about the pain I've been having in my leg muscles for the past couple of years.
