Foods that provide Vitamin B12 are found in various animal products such as fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products. Foods that provide Vitamin D3 are found in fatty fish, like tuna, mackerel, and salmon Foods fortified with vitamin D, like some dairy products, orange juice, soy milk, and cereals, Beef liver, Cheese and egg yolks. It is however important to check D3 levels to be able to take an exact dose of medication required alongside the food sources for better absorption .D3 when taken in excess can cause toxicity and therefore should be carefully supplemented through GPs advice. B12 on the other hand can be taken with less restriction. Most importantly to keep in mind that the sources of B12 and D3 should be taken all year round as the levels can keep falling and even then supplementation would be recommended as the food sources alone especially in vegetarians may not be adequate.
