I'm dealing with vitamin deficienciesit looks like my vitamin D and B12 levels are low. Vitamin D is at 14.92 ngml and B12 is at 202 pgml. What could these low levels mean for my health, and what steps should I take to address this? I'm a bit worried about the impact they might have on me.
I recommend taking "Drisdol" at a dosage of 50,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks, followed by a maintenance dose of 800-2000 IU per day. For Vitamin B12 deficiency, I recommend taking "Cyanocobalamin" at a dosage of 1000 mcg once daily for a few weeks, followed by a maintenance dose of 100-200 mcg per day.
