Since your vit D is below 8, you've done the right thing completing 8 loading doses. Now switch to a maintenance dose â 60,000 IU once a month or 2000 IU daily is usually recommended. For B12 deficiency, start methylcobalamin 1500 mcg daily. Try to get 15-20 min of morning sunlight and include eggs, dairy, and fish in your diet. Recheck both levels after 3 months to see improvement.
Next Steps
Feel free to consult me on Practo for a proper dose plan and follow-up on your levels.
