Quantities - Help please

Hi all, I need to top up on my B12, Vit D & Serum Folate following blood test results. I would also like to add in selenium. But how much of each to take? My Dr. was not helpful and was in such a rush to get me out due to his pressure to see the next person. Do I take a multi supplement with these things in, or get individuals so that I can control the dose and take only what I “need”. I keep putting off buying even though I know it will get me where I need to be, because I don’t want to either over or under dose. I know there are some very knowledgable people on here. I’m sure your advice would help others as well as me. Thank you in advance 👍 Mandy

Do post your results with ranges so members can help with suggested doses 😊

If you don't want to end up taking lots of different pills every day you could take a high dose of Vitamin D once or twice a week. If it's possible to do that with each of the supplements you need it could be easier to remember to take them. I don't think you can do this with iron though. Many members here will tell you that multivitamins are not a good idea. Amazon is a good source of supplements at a reasonable price.
