Hi, Is it safe to take vitamin tablets daily? If so, which ones should I take? I have been diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency, and I am considering taking all vitamin supplements regularly.

Taking vitamin tablets daily is generally safe if you have a deficiency or your doctor recommends it. Since you have Vitamin D deficiency, continue your Vitamin D supplements as prescribed. A balanced diet often covers most vitamin needs, so taking a general multivitamin is optional if your diet is healthy. Avoid high dose vitamins without medical advice, as excess can be harmful. A Vitamin B12 test may be done if you have weakness or tingling, as B12 deficiency is also common. A repeat Vitamin D test can be done post taking treatment.

Question

How does Vitamin B12 affect energy levels?

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.
