Chronically low vitamin D, B12 levels

Posted by Chris O on September 8, 2016, at 16:45:26

Hello, everyone,

I'm looking back over my blood work for the past decade-ish, and it is clear to me that no matter what I do, my vitamin D and B12 levels seem to remain in the chronically low end of "normal." (My vitamin D chronically hovers in the low 30 ng/mL range while my vitamin B12 hovers in the 200 pg/mL range.)

Of course, if I didn't have such low energy, feel like such crap all the time, I probably wouldn't even contemplate the meaning of these numbers. The doctor I am seeing now considers these numbers "normal" and doesn't (appear to) think they have anything to do with my mood issues. However, from what I can gather on the Internet, many people seem to consider the numbers of I have abnormal, and possibly influencing some of my mood-anxiety-depression symptoms.

Another point: I live in sunny southern California and spend much time out in the sun. I made a point of taking some long bike rides at the beach the month before getting my latest blood work. However, no matter how much time I spend outside in the sun, my vitamin D level seems to stay at a constant level in the 30s.

I have taken the high dose vitamin D and B12 supplements (several different types/brands) for months at a time (on multiple occasions) and not noticed any significant benefit in my mood-anxiety-depression symptoms. So, perhaps the low vitamin D, B12 are not involved at all in my mood issues? Uncertain.
