Brief Answer:
Yes its fine

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Raw egg has more nutrition than boiled egg. Most proteins get coagulated due to boiling of egg and are less digestible. Raw egg yolk is sometimes considered as source of bad cholesterol.

Otherwise eating whole egg after boiling is fine. No side effects.

Hope it answers your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Vitamin B12 supplements needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

You seem to be vegetarian. The main source of B12 is meat, chicken, ghosht, etc. Milk and egg are somewhat helpful. Actually the treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency is different in vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

In vegetarians, "oral" supplements of vitamin B12 in the dose of more than 1500mcg/day must be taken in presence of symptoms of tingling or other neurological symptoms.

In non-vegetarians, the supplements are taken as an injection. By non-vegetarian I mean, those who eat meat, chicken, ghosht etc daily.

Hope it helps.

Brief Answer:
Neurorex forte will be helpful

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Neurorex forte will be helpful in restoring the B12 value to normal.

Egg and egg yolk is only slightly helpful in documented deficiencies.
