Shelley suggested on another thread to look into B12 methyl. My PCP said my B12 was "normal", however after reading through posts here for the last few hours, I called my doc and was told my B12 is 451 which is under the 500 that has been discussed here.

I am going to order the Jarrow B12-5000 to start with. I have noticed other posts about B6, Folic acid, Magnesium and Omega 3. Should I start any of those now or wait to see how the B12 methyl works? If so which ones should I buy and how and when should I take them. I already have read to take the B12 on an empty stomach. How many hours before I eat should I take it?

Thank you so much.

I'm glad to read that you're going to take Methylcobalamin.

I used to be iron deficient and feel dizzy from the anemia whenever I stood up, but after having B12 replacement I've not had the iron deficiency anemia any more.

If you keep a few notes when you're using the Methylcobalamin then later you can look back and see how it worked for you; sometimes that can be useful.
