B12 and D deficiency
Hi,
I am 35 years old. I recently got my Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels tested.
My Vitamin B12 result is 238.90 pg/mL
My Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) result is 45.34 nmol/L
I consulted a doctor, and they advised the following:
Vitamin B12: 1500 mcg daily for 1 month, then 3 times a week for the next 3 months
Vitamin D: 60,000 IU daily for 8 weeks, then once a month for 6 months
But when I look at these doses, they seem quite high. Can you please confirm if this is safe and correct for my levels?
Thank you in advance.
