Welcome to our Vitamin forum:

I can't enlarge your graphic. I use Mozilla, and when I try to zoom it, I get thrown out of the window

Anyway, the methylcobalamin is low. You can buy online 5mg tablets and take one a day for a couple/3 months, on an empty stomach and then get retested. If you are up near 1000 or more you can then reduce to 1mg a day thereafter to maintain.

The D ... the cap from the doctor is inactive D2 ergocalciferol. Not terribly good. D3 Cholecalciferol is better, and now many places sell it in higher amounts. You can try 4000IU of D3 daily preferrably in a gelcap and not dry tablet/cap type, and get retested again.
However, if you use Quest, the results may not be accurate as they were revealed in Feb 09 to have faulty procedures. Not sure if that has been corrected yet. The doctor should test for D3 when you have that redone.

Good luck.

Both D3 and methylB12 are available by several companies at www.herb.com very reasonably in price. MethylB12 is not commonly available locally, but you might find it. D3 is becoming more common locally. But a liquigelcap form for best absorption.
