B12 is very finicky....you must take it correctly. And get tested periodically to see if your oral type and dose is working for you.
Don't assume it is. B12 cyano form has to be activated in the body to methyl form...Some people have a DNA mutation that blocks this vital action (10-30% of people in the US). If you have this, the Cyano form will not do anything for you. You need to take oral on an empty stomach always...otherwise it does not get absorbed.
The 50,000 IU is from your DOCTOR on RX? That is D2 and new studies show it is 87% less effective than OTC D3.
Do you know your tested level? If you do you can figure out your OTC dose daily... 1000IU D3 a day for each ten points to raise. Continue with the RX === not much of a response.
If your D is D3, do you know your current level that you have reached?
What type of magnesium? Oxide does not work... If you take oxide all you get is laxative enhancements.
