I am slightly anemic and so my doctor recommended I take iron pills, which I started doing. She also recommended I take Vitamin B12. The dose she wants me to take is 5,000 UIs daily. That seems like an awfully big dose to do since my B12 is only slightly low. I am worried it might affect my kidneys. Does anyone else take this big a dose?

I am anemic also, and had low B12. My Doctor prescribed for me to take B12 (small amount), which works for me. I also get a shot if blood work shows I need it.
I started taking 1,000 ui a day. I guess I'll see how that works. I do feel like I have more energy.
