Hello,

I have been diagnosed with low vitamin B, after having blood work drawn and tested.

I did receive a few B12 shots, however I don't know if they were regular B12 or Methyl B12.

In my search I could not find out what the difference between vitamin B12 and methyl B12 actually is. Also, I could not find methyl B12 in the pharmacy when browsing through.

What is the benefits of methyl, verses regular B12, for neuropathy, and are there any possible side effects from methyl B12.

In addition, what is the best form of B12, I can't afford the shots, and would like to continue the treatment by other means if it can be just as beneficial.

There are so many different name brands out there, and I know some might be better than others. I would like them to be government approved. Is it ok to name brand names of vitamins and medications on this forum if they are not being mentioned for marketing purposes?

Thanks.

Patty
