Why am I vitamin B12 deficient even though I eat a lot of meat?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is because there is a high possibility that your body is unable to absorb the vitamin B12 available in the foods you are consuming.
Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...
Take a Urine Protein Test Test or Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test

My report shows Vitamin B12 level at 169 and Vitamin D3 level at 14. I have been experiencing symptoms like inflammation around the anus and general body discomfort. I started treatment with five doses of Eldervit 12 injection and two doses of Arachitol 6L. Although the symptoms improved, some of them have returned. I am also taking Caldikind Plus one tablet daily, Neurobion two tablets daily, and Uprise D3 once a week. I would like to know how many more doses I should take and when I can expect complete relief from all symptoms.

I consulted a doctor because I was having balance problems and vertigo, and I was told I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. My test result showed a level of 193. The doctor prescribed Neurobion Forte, Monobe (thiamine), and a multivitamin. I have been taking these medicines for the past 22 days. Although my symptoms have improved, I still have some problems. How long will it take to fully recover?
