Just got blood tests back - where do I go from here with supplements

I have been being treated for Zinc, folate, Iron,B12 & vit D deficiencies

I have had reading of:

Iron 9.9 (range 2.7-15)
B12 1808
Zinc 12.9 (range 11-24)

Not sure why folate wasn't checked & my Vitamin D 'just takes longer'

What treatment have you had so far? I've just had loading doses of b12 after being diagnosed with b12 deficiency and am being checked for other things (like vitd). But focus is now on why I'm deficient, as there's no clear reason - do you know why you are deficient? Unless it's simply dietary, there's no point in just taking supplements, if I'm understanding your question right.

Because I have CFS/FM/IBS the reason behind my previous deficiency is not worth looking for

I am just shovelling supplements in- I had my loading dose (sort of - 1 a week for 6 weeks) last September & have had 12 weekly injections since

I also take B12 spray, Vit D spray, Zinc, Iron & folic acid

I think there is a problem with processing the vitamins rather than just absorbing them
