We need to test key nutrients and then if we have any low levels or deficiencies we supplement at the appropriate dose. We don't just supplement without knowing if we need to.

We advise testing

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin

Once you have done this post results on the forum, include reference ranges and for Vit D and B12 also include unit of measurement, we can then let you know if you need to supplement and suggest dose.
