2021-03-06 17:38:37
Hello respected doctors, Few months back i went through Vitamin B12 check and came to know that b12 level is 193.00 pg/ml which is below from the normal range 211-911 pg./ml. Considering the deficiency , please suggest me whether I should take injection or supplement. Test results: VITAMIN B12; CYANOCOBALAMIN, SERUM (CLIA) 193.00 pg/mL 211.00 - 911.00 Thanks in advance.

You can improve by taking vit. B12 rich foods. If you are a vegetarian I would suggest you to take Neurobion forte 1 tab a day for one month.
