Vit D deficiency
I just got a test done for Vit D, Calcium and Vit and Vit B12.
My values were Calcium-9.46mg/dl, vit B12- 436pg/ml, Vit D2 - 1.02ng/ml, Vit D3 - 17.9 ng/ml, Vit D - 18.92 ng/ml.
I understand that B12 is low and vit D is actually deficient. My previous doctor had earlier prescribed shelcal 1 tab for 30 days and uprise 1 tab every week for 3-4 weeks. However I never took those.
Should I start taking them now. Is the dosage ok? Should these tablets be taken at night after food? Also should I take B12 also for a few days to boost levels?

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
As of now you can take a tab. Renerve-plus twice a day after food for a month. Tab. Neurobion forte once a day after food for a month. Along with these, take the prescribed medicines also.
Have lots of greens and fruits.
If it still persists, you can start a online consultation with me so that I can take a detailed history and suggest you further.
Best regards.
