This really should help that part I would think. I know that it did me
for a while.

I am sorry, I don't agree. If someone is low, you need to find out why.
People don't get low unless a serious condition is present.
1) long term veganism (with no dairy, eggs)
2) malabsorption from gluten intolerance ( or damage to the GI tract)
3) pernicious anemia ( lack of intrinsic factor)
4) use of metformin or acid blocking drugs. (also long term antibiotic treatments as used in Lyme disease)
5) loss of stomach acid capability
Chances are once you have become low, you will need supplementary B12 for life. Correcting a level for B12 does not correct the reason it became low.
Here is the new medical video on Vit D. The amounts previously considered normal are very outdated now. A multivit does not provide adequate levels.

The new vit D information is critical for health today. Please watch this video from Univ. Calif San Diego medical school.
