Vitamin b12 deficiency
Hi My husband had gotten full body test done for hair loss treatment and the vit b12 was shown as 39 , and the dermatologist recommended we get a second test done and that time it was 55 . We did the test on practo and it came as 165(attached). Should we use medicine? Or is taking b12 rich foods enough ?
