Thank you for this post. I am going to add this info to our B12 thread at PN, if you don't mind.

There is much more info at their website:

But it is unclear to me at this time if this is methyl or cyano version.

I would also expect it to cost more money in the long run.

This technology may be helpful for other drugs, that rely only on injection, eventually.

I'ne never had a neuro look at Vit. B12 or Vit D, ask about sex or constipation but tharts just my experience at Johns Hopkins and UM Medical MS Center.

Just so you know. I just had a blood test run for Osteoperosis. I have ample amounts of B12 (I like broccoli) and Vitamin D.

I have PPMS and I am clearly progressing.

Did this doctor give you your numbers, Aarcyn?

Your B12 should be at 500 or above to be normal.
Broccoli does not have B12 in it, but it does have folic acid.

B12 comes from animal sourced foods. It can become low if patients take daily acid reducing drugs, long term antibiotics like used for Lyme disease, or metformin for type II diabetes.


That's great that you have good Vit D levels. Most people do not.

Many lab ranges still reported in the US use antiquated levels of B12 going down to 200 as normal. People can have many neuro symptoms at levels in the 200's.

Hi MrsD

Yes my PCP gave me the numbers. I was recently diagnosed with Osteoperosis so I had a blood work panel done.

My PCP's husband has MS so I feel confident that she was reading my chart correctly. At least I HOPE so!

There are lots of ways to get one's vitamins. I was being a bit "flip" when I mentioned eating a lot of broccoli.
