Looking for advice on my recent blood test results
[20F]
I’ve been feeling lethargic and lacking energy lately. I also struggle with mood swings, stress, anxiety, and feelings of guilt. I’m trying to figure out how I can improve my overall health and feel more like myself again.
My doctor told me that my iron levels are low and recommended iron treatment, but I wasn’t given much information about the dosage or how often it should be taken. I was also prescribed 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 once a week for three months.
My B12 level was technically within the normal range, but it seems to be on the lower end. Would it make sense to take a B12 supplement to raise it slightly, or is that unnecessary if the level is still considered normal?
I haven’t started the treatment yet. Are there any other vitamins or supplements that might be worth considering for general health?
I also asked a pharmacist about omega-3, and they said it’s okay to take it alongside vitamin D.
Is taking omega-3 daily generally safe? If so, how do I choose the appropriate type and dose, and is there a preferred time of day to take it?
