Welcome to NeuroTalk:
if you have normal kidney function tests, your use of methylB12 should be fine. Most of that oral B12 is not even absorbed. People become low if they have autoimmune issues affecting the parietal cells of the stomach. Acid blocking drugs and metformin are also culprits in reducing absorption of B12 from food. Loss of parietal cells occurs genetically also in people who inherit pernicious anemia. About 30 % of people over 50 may develop low acid in the stomach with aging, and when this happens, B12 cannot be absorbed from food like before. The name for this is achlorhydria. Many people with only one functioning kidney can have normal functions. You can ask your doctor about your clearance rates. This would also affect many drugs you may use for various reasons. I'll be back from vacation in about a week or so. We are still in the Northwoods. Quote:
