B12 & D Vitamin deficiency

2024-09-28 08:46:35
Being a vegetarian with lactose intolerance, I constantly find myself in B12 deficiency. Each time I get my levels checked up, I am either deficient or at the border. It's been the pattern for a long while. Also, due to the indoor lifestyle that comes with my profession, I have Vitamin D deficiency too. I have attached the image of my current levels for reference. (B12-134pg/ml & D-21.8ng/ml) To improve the levels, I brought Becadexamin capsules as it contains both the vitamins. However, my doubt is if it's good in the long term or not, because incorporating non-vegetarian food is not a choice. If there is a safer alternative, please let me know. Thank you.

It's important that you're addressing your deficiencies, as both vitamin B12 and vitamin D are essential for your overall health. Vitamin B12 deficiency is common in vegetarians, and people with lactose intolerance can also miss out on other key nutrients found in dairy products, which might worsen the issue. Your current B12 level of 134 pg/ml is on the lower side, as the normal range is typically between 200–900 pg/ml. For vitamin D, your level of 21.8 ng/ml is also indicative of deficiency, as optimal levels should generally be between 30–100 ng/ml. Becadexamin is a good choice as it combines both vitamins, but it's important to monitor how your body responds over time, particularly if you're using it long term. It’s advisable to regularly check your vitamin levels to ensure you're achieving the desired improvement without any side effects. In your case, since incorporating non-vegetarian foods is not an option, continuing with a supplement that combines these essential nutrients seems reasonable. However, you may also want to explore plant-based fortified foods or consult a dietitian for a tailored plan. For a more detailed evaluation and personalized treatment plan, feel free to consult me for further advice. You can also message me on eight zero zero nine eight two one triple three two for a more direct conversation.
