Very Low Levels of Vitamin D and B12
I got a blood test done recently and got to know that my Vitamin D and B12 levels are very low.
Vitamin D (25-OH) - 7.4
The ideal range is 30 to 100.
Vitamin B12- 106.8
The ideal range is 187-833
Which multivitamins should I take to level up these deficiencies?
I am also suffering from extreme hair fall as well, could these deficiencies be one of the reasons for it?
