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.

Can homeopathy actually treat gynecomastia or is surgery the only way to get rid of it? I've heard mixed opinions and I'm not sure what to believe. Are there any effective homeopathic remedies or should I just consider surgery? I've been dealing with gynecomastia for a while and I'm hesitant about surgery. Does homeopathy offer any real solution or is it just a temporary fix? I'd prefer a non-surgical option if possible. My son is struggling with gynecomastia and we're exploring treatment options. Is homeopathy a viable choice or is surgery the only permanent solution? I'm worried about side effects and long-term results. I've read about homeopathic treatments for gynecomastia but I'm skeptical. Has anyone seen real improvement with them or is surgery still the most reliable option? Does homeopathy work for reducing gynecomastia or is it just delaying the inevitable need for surgery? I'd like to avoid going under the knife if there's a safer alternative.
Homeopathic treatment for gynecomastia may or may not prove to be effective in treating gynecomastia. There can be some side effects such as digestive issues, nausea, vomiting, cold after taking the homeopathic medicines for gynecomastia. Also, it takes lots of time to show effective results with this treatment option
