A member asked:

For what reasons might vitamin d and b12 recovery time take longer ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

D is longer: Vitamin B12 doesn't take as long as most often replacement is given by injection. Vitamin d is generally oral, and can take up to three months to normalize since it's fat soluble and deposits in fat tissue.
