UV Lamps

[Diyena]

I'm vitamin D deficient, is it worth investing in a UV Lamp or will the oral supplements be enough?

[Jose651]

When I was diagnosed B12def in June this year , my Vit D was also def.

The 2 seem to go hand in hand. GP prescribed Vit D supplement and injections for B12.

Supplementing usually do the trick.

Diyena, Oral supplements should be sufficient unless you have chronic malabsorption in which case a UVB lamp may be helpful. Eye protection is essential when using UVB lamps.

Thanks, I think I'd struggle to get B12 as the doctor told me mine was normal as its in range, although I'm told here that it's low.

I am using Solgar sublingual methylcobalamin. I took a high dose for two months now am on a maintenance dose. Its cheap enough to buy and makes a world of difference.
