Dear lybrate-user,
all multivitamins are available otc without prescription.
I assume you tested for vitamin b12 and vitamin d.
If your levels were found low, you can either go for capsule form or opt for injection route.
Vitamin d in particular is better if taken via injection as vitamin d capsules tend to cause side effects.
Vitamin b12 capsules, however, is easy on the stomach. You can opt for neurobion forte.
Important thing to remember, vitamin b12 and d are fat solu...more

Dear lybrate-user, may I please know if you are vegetarian or non vegetarian. Because unfortunately b12 can only be obtained from animal sources. However, if you are vegetarian but drink dairy products, then its fine.
Vitamin d supplements usually don’t help when taken orally as vitamin d can cause acidity like symptoms. It is better you get vitamin d through injection route.
Also both vitamin b12 and vitamin d are fat soluble, so, never eat them on empty stomach. Have them after a mea...more

Yes you can take it. There is very less quantity of vitamin d3 in shell cal tablet just to supplement calcium absorption and function but not for curing vit d deficiency. If you are taking more than 2 times a day a slight modification in the dose could be done.

Dear lybrate-user, at your age you should be eating 3 large meals viz breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Vitamin b12 is best obtained from animal sources. So if you are vegetarian, must consume dairy products like ghee, curd.
You must increase your time in sunlight exposure. Get vitamin d injection once in a month instead of taking capsules.
Finish dinner by 8 pm as our digestive system is slightly weaker as night approaches.
Avoid packed food such as noodles, pasta, rusk.

Dear user, it is likely you are not consuming fat soluble vitamins.
If vegetarian, consume more dairy products.
If non vegetarian, add oily fish.
If your digestion is bad, then add himalaya bael twice a day.
Get adequate sunlight exposure on skin.
Avoid seeds and dry fruits as they contain phytic acid which depletes our calcium, vitamin d reserves due to their antinutrients properties. Consume amino acids instead of multivitamins. Get minimum 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.more

Vitamin d supplements are of no use if your digestive system is weak. Vitamin d capsules only work if your stomach and intestines are able to absorb them. Otherwise you will get side effects such as acidity and diarrhoea.
Try getting vitamin d through injection.
Also increase consumption of dairy products.
Get direct sunlight on skin.
If non vegetarian, consume oily fish.
Avoid nuts, seeds and dry fruits as they contain phytic acid which are antinutrients that deplete our cal...more
