In my recent blood test, my Vitamin D25 level is 22 ng/mL and Vitamin B12 is 163 pg/mL. Could you please suggest appropriate supplements or medications to correct these deficiencies?

Both are low. You need Vitamin D3 supplements and Vitamin B12 injections or tablets. Also increase sun exposure and intake of fortified foods.

Take a Vitamin D Test Test or Take a Vitamin B12 Test Test

My blood report shows B12 as 63 indicating deficiency and vitamin D as 11.1 indicating insufficiency. I am a pure vegetarian. Is Supradyn okay for this and do I need to take B12 injections as a supplement?

I have had full body pain for the last six months and now it continues throughout the day especially in the heel and bottom. I have taken two blood reports but the doctor only gives painkillers. Please suggest?

My father has been a chain smoker for many years. Recently, I have noticed that he has become very lethargic, has lost interest in daily activities, and is also showing signs of forgetfulness. Although he has reduced his smoking, he has not quit completely. I am concerned whether these symptoms could be a result of long-term smoking. Kindly advise.
