Thanks for your query

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.Your mom may be having vitamin and trace elements deficiencies. She is likely to be benefitted by vitamin and trace elements deficiencies. You can get her vitamin D and vitamin B12 done. If found low vitamin D then supplements of vitamin D3 with be useful. If found low vitamin B12 then it can be supplemented by Mecobalamine. In general multivitamin and trace elements supplements will be useful. She can also get her ESR done to search for any chronic diseases.
You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
