Your vitamin value is somewhat borderline. If you're not feeling any other symptoms of an illness, there's nothing to worry about. This could be due to dietary deficiency.This is more common in vegetarians or vegans. B12 deficiency could also be due to some medicines that inhibit the uptake of vitamin in our body.
Next Steps
Add regular curd to your diet. if you're a non-vegetarian, consider adding fish, egg, or meat once a week.
Health Tips
Improve the dietary intake and repeat the test in a month after that.
