View allI'm trying to figure out whether it's better to take the Vitamin D Uprise sachet with milk or just stick with the Uprise capsule. I recently noticed my Vitamin D and B12 levels dropped from 60 to 27 over the past four months. I spend a lot of time working under AC as I'm in IT. How can I keep my Vitamin D and B12 levels healthy? Are there any natural or mild supplements you'd recommend for maintaining these vitamins? Also, what would be a good yearly dosage to consider?
Both Vit D Uprise sachet and Uprise capsule are effective in increasing Vitamin D levels. However, if you prefer to take it with milk, then the Vit D Uprise sachet with milk would be a better option. To maintain optimal Vitamin D and B12 levels, you can consider taking supplements. For Vitamin D, you can take Uprise Vitamin D3 capsules 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks, followed by Uprise Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a month. For Vitamin B12, you can take Neurobion Forte tablets once daily. Additionally, include Vitamin D and B12 rich foods in your diet such as fatty fish, fortified dairy products, eggs, and lean meats. Regular exposure to sunlight is also important for Vitamin D synthesis. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice based on your specific health needs.

I recently got my test results for Vitamin D, calcium, and B12. The results showed Calcium at 9.46 mgdL, Vitamin B12 at 436 pgmL, Vitamin D2 at 1.02 ngmL, Vitamin D3 at 17.9 ngmL, and overall Vitamin D at 18.92 ngmL. I realize my Vitamin B12 is on the lower side and Vitamin D is actually deficient. My previous doctor had recommended Shelcal, one tablet for 30 days, and Uprise, one tablet every week for 34 weeks, but I didn't end up taking them. Should I start taking them now? Is that dosage correct? Should I be taking these tablets at night after meals? Also, do you think I should take something for B12 for a few days to improve my levels?
