B12 loading doses

Hi

I’ve been reading many posts regarding the Dutch loading protocol which I find very interesting. Do people think that this works better than the UK 3 per week for two weeks protocol?

Is it a much less shock to the starved system of having them weekly like the Dutch system does? I think their system is 10 injections over 10 weeks or 5 weeks.

Curious to know which protocol is best?

As tiuve said we have had thoughts on this. Most on the UK.have no problems with the loading dose. I've noticed including myself if tour reading is very low and alot oc neurological problems toy can get worse before better. Also depends in your constitution.

Personally my body did feel overwhelmed

Im sensitive and was on no other si who knows.

I know at the time I was desperate for the b12 injections.

If you are able to think about it perhaps the such system would suit.

No one actually knows.

Just get the treatment started asap.

I’ve had some loading doses already and I feel completely exhausted the next day to a point I can’t move it’s awful 😰 but I’ve read this is common and normal in the loading stages
