Who should get Zinc- Plasma NaF done in Gurugram?

Confirming a deficiency in Gurugram allows correctly dosed supplementation rather than guesswork.

Vitamin D below 20 ng/mL: deficiency , loading dose (typically 60,000 IU weekly for 8–12 weeks) followed by maintenance. Vitamin D 20–30 ng/mL: insufficiency , moderate supplementation. Above 100 ng/mL: toxicity risk. Vitamin B12 below 200 pg/mL: deficiency , oral or injectable supplementation depending on cause.
