“I'm thinking of just ordering the 5000mcg version but I feel like that's an excessive amount.”


Hi DannyT, if you take B12 in the methylcobalamin form, research indicates that any excess is simply excreted by the body.

I do take a daily dosage of 5000 mcg of methylcobalamin, but I was diagnosed as having a B12 deficiency. From what I’ve read, if your B12 levels are normal, then you probably don’t need to take any more than 2000 mcg daily.
