I Wanted To Know If They Need To Be Taken In A Regular Basis, Particularly Vitamin B12 Supplement
Question: Hello doctor,
Two months ago I had shared my general health check reports with you and received the below prescription:
I have reviewed the report and it is normal. Some parameters are bit out of range and let me enumerate them below:
- Lipids like LDL and triglycerides are higher side and you can take low fat diet and regular exercise for few months. No need to take medicines for the current values.
- For low vitamin B12, you can take Nurokind-OD daily for 1-2 months
- For low vitamin D levels, you can take Arachitol-nano shots one every two weeks for 2 months
Rest everything is normal and nothing much to worry
Both Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 are complete.
I wanted to know if they need to be taken in a regular basis, particularly Vitamin B12 supplement as I am a vegetarian and do not get sufficient B12 through food.

Brief Answer:
Can be taken on and off
Detailed Answer:
Hi again and thanks for direct query.
Since vitamin B12 is only slightly low, Nurokind OD can be taken for few weeks and it should normalise the B12 levels.
Yes vegetarian diet is lot a good source of b12.
Any supplement should be taken for limited time only and a gap of few months is recommended before starting it again.
So you can take Nurokind OD for few weeks and then take it again after few months.
Regards,
Dr Vaishalee
