Please advise.
Brief Answer:
Take tab.becosules daily once for 3 months to replenish vit B12.
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir,
Your vit B12 levels are not too low. So you don't need to worry. Vit B12 is not seen in plant based foods. Only those foods derived from animals contain vit B12. So it's better you take vit B12 supplementation in the form of medications like tab becosules daily 1 for 2-3 months. The following are the foods that are rich in vitB12 :
1)eggs
2) milk and milk products
3)nutritional yeast
4)fish
5)liver
6)cheese
7)chicken
Hope I have answered your question. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you. Take care.
