D3 & B12 deficiency

I have just checked my blood test report and see that D3 and B12 are very low. I have mild muscular pains with fatigue. I have a very active life style with 5 days of badminton play. What should I do?

Your muscle aches and fatigue fit both deficiencies well, and in an active badminton player low D3 also raises the risk of tendon and stress injuries. Vitamin D is corrected with a weekly high-dose sachet for 8 weeks followed by a daily maintenance dose, and B12 either by injections for a few weeks or a high oral dose daily if the level is only mildly low. Do not keep taking loading doses indefinitely - recheck both levels after 3 months and then decide maintenance. At 50 with low B12 I would also check TSH, HbA1c, creatinine and, if B12 is very low, look for a cause like metformin use, vegetarian diet or gastric absorption issues. Share your actual values with me on a Practo consult and I will give you the exact dose schedule instead of a generic multivitamin.

Low vitamin D3 and B12 together often explain muscle aches and fatigue, especially with your activity level. Correcting both usually needs a proper loading dose from your doctor, not just a multivitamin.
Next Steps
Ask your physician for a dosing plan based on your exact levels. Retest in a few months to confirm the levels have corrected properly.
