Posted on Thu, 1 Feb 2024

Question: I recently had my full body checkup done and the report showed low levels of Vitamin B12 (184 pg/mL) and Vitamin D (15 ng/mL). Also my cholesterol levels were reported high: Direct LDL Cholesterol 127 mg/dL and Triglycerides 198 mg/dL.
Could you suggest any food habits to get them at normal range and vitamin supplements that I can take.

Hi,

Thanks for the report

High cholesterol can be solved with low fat an flow carbohydrate diet with exercise.

For Vit B12 and Vit D you will need supplements.

Tab Methylcobalamine 1500mcg taken daily after food at night for 1 months

Vit D3 60K taken once a week for 8 weeks followed by once a month for 8 months will solve the defeciency

Hope, I answered your query

Wishing you good health
