Ooo I am continually amazed at how

uninformed doctors are.

They think that B12 is absorbed in the body orally like a "drug"?

250mcg is not likely to provide enough daily orally by passive absorption.
Usually only 1% is absorbed orally and that only it taken on an empty
stomach.

RDA means nothing when B12 is listed on a label.

The confusion also comes from the fact that IM injected B12 is 1000mcg/dose.
One cannot compare injectable and oral AT ALL... B12 is not like DRUGS...
which are mostly absorbed. If doctors would sharpen up and learn this,
much suffering could be ended!
