Vitamin B Profile low
Hi Doctor, I reviewed my recent blood reports and would appreciate your advice. * Folate (B9): 3.5 ng/mL (low) * Vitamin B12: 245 pg/mL (low-normal) * Vitamin D: 31.4 ng/mL (sufficient) * Magnesium: 2.21 mg/dL (normal) * Homocysteine: 22.7 µmol/L (elevated) * CRP: 29.93 mg/L and ESR: 25 mm/hr (elevated) Could you advise whether I need folic acid and/or B12 supplements, any additional tests, and when to repeat them? I’m also experiencing persistent calf and lower-leg pain. Could these results contribute to the pain, or do I need further investigations? My recent dental treatment may be relevant to the elevated CRP. Thank you.
