My blood report shows B12 as 63 indicating deficiency and vitamin D as 11.1 indicating insufficiency. I am a pure vegetarian. Is Supradyn okay for this and do I need to take B12 injections as a supplement?

These are quite low levels. Supradyn alone may not be sufficient. B12 injections are usually needed for quicker recovery. Vitamin D3 60k IU weekly for 8 weeks is often prescribed. Repeat B12 and Vit D after 2 months

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a Vitamin B12 Test Test or Take a Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test
