Vitamin B12 you can get from non vegetarian meal. Else you need B12 suppliments for first 10days of every month.
Also vitamin D we get from sunlight. But due to full clothes and office culture body don't get enough sunlight. So you can take Vitamin de 60,000 IU orally once a week for 8 weeks.

A borderline deficiency in Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3 means your body's stores are running low, even if you aren't in a severe deficiency state yet. While food is a great long-term source, borderline levels often require an initial 'boost' from supplements to bring them back to the optimal range quickly. Since these vitamins are crucial for nerve health, energy levels, and bone strength, addressing them now will prevent symptoms like chronic fatigue and muscle weakness."
Next Steps
For a specific prescription with the correct dosages based on your exact lab values, please book a full consultation session via my Practo profile."
Health Tips
Dietary Sources (B12): "If you are vegetarian, include more dairy products like milk, curd, and paneer. For non-vegetarians, eggs and lean meats are excellent sources."
Dietary Sources (D3): "Natural food sources for D3 are limited, but fortified cereals, orange juice, and fatty fish can help."
Absorption Tip: "Vitamin D is fat-soluble. Take your supplement with a meal that contains healthy fats (like a glass of milk or with lunch) for better absorption."
Caution: "Do not continue high-dose supplements indefinitely without medical supervision, as excessive Vitamin D can lead to toxicity (hypercalcemia)."
