Talking

Rose:

Really? 3 mcgs a day would be enough for some people? Jarrett knows I'm kidding, because I knew he didn't mean to type 3 mcgs. But in any B-12 bottle (you know, the ones in the stores), the minimum amount I've ever seen is 50 mcgs.

I thought 3 mcgs would amount to taking nothing at all.

Wow, I just learned something.

Anyway, I'm taking the 5000 in the morning AND NOW SO IS ALAN!!!

He wanted to start taking them and he started two days ago.

I see so much improvement in my burning, I can't begin to tell you.

Thank God. Now maybe it's the weather, my weight loss, who the hell knows, and who on earth cares. I will take my B-12 for the rest of my life (or as long as I can afford it

Jarrett,

I'm so glad you have improved. I assume you meant 3 mg B12.

Regarding Melody's comment : Three mcg per day would prevent deficiency in those who have not begun to malabsorb severely, but for many of us they would be useless.

ROFLMAO!! I see you got it! Yes, that's correct and it has helped *so* much.

Anyhow can I still increase to another b12 so 2000? I'm not seeing any benefit but not sure if this will do anything for my issue.
For me, it caused stomach issues...constipation and diarrhea. Back and forth. Once I had been taking a specific dose for a few days I was fine. So for me I've learned to increase a dose of B-12 slowly.
