Yes, I agree with you... we are are supremely lucky that B12 is so easy to do ourselves. If we left this to doctors... well
we see commonly how helpful they are.
It won't hurt to take both. In fact before methyl became so easily available I used the adenosyl type myself from Country LIfe. I found that in a store near me a decade ago... in fact.
But I have never been really low in B12 either. My long ago first test was 849. I take it only as insurance, "just because".
I think it is more likely to be low in the methyl form because of methylation errors being found today... like MTHFR mutations, of which there are many. (I read once on a Merck site that a while back there were 25 of them...mutations so far. Maybe today there are more being found?
Let us know how you do with both.... this may be very helpful for some people on this forum.
