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 a bit confused about the tablets I have at home. The doctor recommended I take D Rise 60k, but I found some Uprise D3 60k here. Are these the same thing, and is it okay if I take the Uprise D3 instead of buying new ones?
