Depending on your symptoms how long you have been deficient, it takes time for healing.

Have you got a reason for low levels of these vitamins.

Diet?

Absorption problem

Medication

Parasites

Pernicious anaemia

Ect

If an absorption problem very high oral b22 dose may work .

Most of us need b12 injections

B1w must be treated before folate

I don't know the protocol in India

In the UK hydroxcobalamin is mainly used .

6 loafing injections then a maintenence dose

Hi. Since you are low on B3, you are probably tryptophan deficient too. When you cannot absorb b3 from food, your body uses the tryptophan stores to build it up. Same thing happened to me. Now, besides b12 injections, i have b3 injections to avoid pellagras onset. I am also (very) low in a lot of amino acids (including the ones my body should produce by itself) and i must take a formula daily. My mood and sleep improved, because, in the end, i was also serotonin deficient. And serotonin is involved in a lot of body processes, happiness inclusive. ((Hugs))
