If your Vitamin B6 levels are still low, your doctor may prescribe supplements.

You can include natural Vitamin B12 sources like eggs, beef, liver, chicken, trout, salmon, tuna fish, clams, fortified breakfast cereal, low-fat milk, yoghurt, and cheese in your diet for treating this deficiency. If you still have low levels of B12, please consult your doctor about its supplements.
