Brief Answer:
Need supplements

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query

Yes, you will need Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D supplements.

Vitamin B12 in the form of Methylcobalamine 750mg daily for a period of one month can help to restore the levels.

Vitamin D in the form of Cholecalciferol 60K units weekly once for 8 weeks followed by monthly for 8 months is the recommended dosage.

For high LDL levels, exercise and low fat diet would suffice.

TIBC is mildly deranged,there is no need to worry about it for now.

Hope, I answered your query

Wishing you good health
