View allI've been on Vitamin D3 and B12 supplements for the last three months, 10000iu and 5000mcg daily. Just got my blood work back, and my GGT level jumped to 111 from under 50. What's going on with that? Should I cut back or stop the vitamins? I'm 50, female, and a bit worried here.
For the elevated GGT level, it is important to address the underlying cause. In your case, since your recent reports have shown a significant increase in GGT levels after starting the Vitamin D3 and Vitamin B12 supplements, it is advisable to stop taking these supplements for now. Additionally, it would be beneficial to avoid alcohol consumption and maintain a healthy diet. To help reduce your GGT level, you can consider taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) under brand name Actigall or Urso.
