My d3 is 31.17 and b12 is 335. Do I need supplement? 2 years back for similar level I was prescribed uprise d3 60k for 4 weeks. One each week and neurobion forte for 6 moths. One tab daily -Is this dose ok? I am vegetarian so doctor said it is due to deficiency. Some one suggested Amway supplement but they r very costly. Does it hav any advantage over uprise d3 and neurobion forte?

Having a Vit D3 level of 10 ng/mL or lower of vitamin D is considered very low. The recommended level was between 40 to 60 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml), but more recently the optimal vitamin D level has been raised to 50-70 ng/ml, and when treating cancer or heart disease, as high as 70-100 ng/ml. Adults with vitamin B12 levels between 200 and 500 pg/mL may also have symptoms. Deficiency should be confirmed by checking the level of a substance in the blood called methylmalonic acid I t is good to take supplements and Uprise is enough and AMway has no special advantage and is marketing strategic product.
