Health Tips
Dietary Sources (
B12): "If you are vegetarian, include more dairy products like milk, curd, and paneer. For non-vegetarians, eggs and lean meats are excellent sources."
Dietary Sources (D3): "Natural food sources for D3 are limited, but fortified cereals, orange juice, and fatty fish can help."
Absorption Tip: "
Vitamin D is fat-soluble. Take your supplement with a meal that contains healthy fats (like a glass of milk or with lunch) for better absorption."
Caution: "Do not continue high-dose supplements indefinitely without medical supervision, as excessive Vitamin D can lead to toxicity (hypercalcemia)."
