Since you are borderline, with B12, 1000mcg a day of methyl form should be enough for you. Take on an empty stomach.
Thank you I am heading to the drugstore tomorrow. I just have to figure out a good time to take the supplements because I can't take for a few hours after the synthroid. Iron interferes with the absorbtion as I'm sure you know. I'll figure it out
Thanks again,
