I recently got my full body blood tests back, and while most results seem alright, my Vitamin D level is at 6 and Vitamin B12 is at 160. I don't really have the typical symptoms associated with these deficiencies, but I'm kind of concerned and want to address them. Any advice on what I should do?
For Vitamin D deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin D supplements such as "Caltrate" or "Nature Made Vitamin D3". For Vitamin B12 deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin B12 supplements such as "Nature Made Vitamin B12" or "Solgar Methylcobalamin". It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper dosage and duration of supplementation.

I'm a 28-year-old male and I've been masturbating since I was 15. Now, I'm worried because my gonads and penis seem small and my testosterone levels are at 450 ngdL. From what I've found online, this seems low and might be due to hypogonadism. I'm experiencing some signs of low testosteronelike premature ejaculation, less muscle mass, mood swings, low self-confidence, and hair thinning. I recently saw a doctor about my hair loss, and she gave me DUTASTERIDE, but I'm unsure if I should take it since I think my testosterone might be low. Is 450 ngdL considered low? If it is low, what's the best treatment? Should I consider testosterone replacement therapy or something else? What can I do to overcome these issues?
