Your vitamin D, B12, and iron levels are deficient, which may be causing joint pain and weakness. Vitamin D promotes bone health, while B12 is essential for energy and neurological function, and iron is required for oxygen delivery in the body. To improve them, focus on foods high in these nutrients:
• Vitamin D sources include sun exposure, fortified milk, fatty fish such as salmon, mushrooms, and egg yolks.
• B12-rich foods include eggs, dairy products, meat, and fortified cereals.
• Iron-rich foods include red meat, black dates, leafy greens, lentils, beans, and fortified cereals. To enhance absorption, combine iron-rich meals with vitamin C (such as oranges, lemons, amla, guava or bell peppers, etc.).
Next Steps
Consult me for helping you manage the levels with food and other lifestyle recommendations.

Hi
Good evening!
Please talk to a doctor and start on higher dose vitamin d supplements. I’m not sure of the lab reference values, but iron looks on the lower side too. Check with doctor for the same.
