Yes , you can take more of the 1000mcg until
The 5000mcg arrive. Just chew them up and swallow with
Some water.

This must be done on an empty stomach.
Unless you are lacking the small intestine, you
Will absorb some.

Get retested in 3 months to see your new
Level. It should be at 1000 or above.

Injections only last in the blood for about 72 hours
And that is why you feel the decline.
Taking it orally is more successful because it mimics
The way we get a little each day from food.

b12 deficiency
 
Hey mrs D,


If i am taking methyl b12 at 1000 mcg but feeling overstimulated, Is it okay to cut the dose in half and would it still raise my levels with such a low dose?

mrsD 08-13-2014 05:15 PM

Did you having testing before taking it?

What were your numbers if so?

1000mcg delivers about 13 mcg to the blood
Stream which is not very much.

Actually methylB12 helps you sleep.
It is part of the cofactor used to make melatonin
From serotonin.

2000mcg of folate is a lot. Why are you
Taking so high a dose?

You can reduce the methylB12 to every
Other day and see how that works.

What else are you taking?
