I recently found out that I have a deficiency in vitamin B12 and vitamin D. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might be causing this. Are there specific reasons why these deficiencies could happen? Also, what are the best options or medicines available to treat a B12 deficiency? Would love some guidance.
