We would recommend you get your nutrients tested before taking any supplements. They will only do you any good if you need them. More is not better.

So, ask your doctor to test vit D, vit B12, folate and ferritin. Then if you post the results and the ranges, people will be able to help you plan your supplementing based on the results. :)

Thank you greygoose,i know testing is the best way,but lately we have bought a personal tracker called VITASTIQ maybe you've heard about it, here is the link if you want to see it , tvitastiq.com.au/ it can calculate vitamins and minerals,thank you again.

No, I've never heard of that.

But, if you have that, then surely you know what you need. We can't know without seeing levels.

Not what you're looking for?
