B12 is best top of range. Folate and ferritin need to be half way in range. Iron is stored in your body so you need to be careful not to go too high in range. A good B complex might do the trick with the B's. It's good to find a complex that has B12 in the form of methylcobalamin and folate (B9) in the form of methylfolate as they are the most absorbable forms. A B complex should have all the B's to keep things balanced.

Ask others about iron supplements as I'm not good at knowing which supplements are the best.

Yes doctors often tell is we are fine if we are in range but with most of our results it's where in the range that is important. B12 under 500 can give neurological problems do aim to get between 700-900 and ferritin is pretty low as well and needs to be at least halfway.
