Brief Answer:
You need to take vitamin D and calcium supplements.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concerns. Your vit D is very low and calcium is borderline low. It would help me better if you could upload your reports.
For vit D and calcium deficiency I would suggest you to take Dvion 60,000 IU sachets, mix it in water and take in weekly once for 8 weeks. You can take Tab. Shelcal 500 mg once daily for 1 month and later include calcium rich diet such as milk, curds, dairy products and ragi which are rich in calcium. This will help your laziness/tiredness as well.
For hairfall I would like to know if it is balding or just increase in hairfall. You can take biotin supplements such as Natrol Biotin or any multivitamin tablet with biotin.
I hope this answered your query.

Brief Answer:
Vitamin D and B12 supplements
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
I have gone through your reports. Everything is in normal range except vit D and vit B12. Calcium is slightly on the lower side.
i would suggest you to take vitamin D supplements as explained earlier. You will have to take Vit b12 supplements such as Nurokind forte once daily for 1 month.
You can either take calcium supplements or follow a calcium rich diet as the levels are not very low to start on supplements. If you prefer supplements you can take as explained earlier.
For hair fall you can take biotin supplements such as vitamin H or natrol biotin.
I hope this answered your query.

Hi Again,
Just one more query.
One Item "CREATININE" is also at the low level though almost at the minimum level. What is this about? Is it of any concern?
Thanks in advance

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Creatinine is a muscle protein. Nothing to worry. It is of concern if it is high. If you eat non veg, eating lean meat will increase creatinine. But that is not so significant. I would suggest you to not worry about it. It is normal.
I hope this answered your query.

Hello Doctor,
I checked the Natrol Biotin supplement. This seems to be too costly.
You mentioned the alternative also "Mutivitamin Biofair/Becousles" with Biotin tablets.
Can you please clearly mention the make and strength of the alternative you have suggested? Is the same biotin tablet which you suggested earier (Natrol Biotin)?

Brief Answer:
Tab. Becosule, it come in standard dose
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
You can take tab. becosule, it comes in standard strength/dose. Just ask for becosule with biotin or you can check in the composition of the tablet. Natrol biotin is only biotin. It is better you take becosule as it will have other minerals such as zinc oxide etc which is good for hair and also the cost will be reasonable.
