Hi everyone,

Please, I need your advice about B12.

I have been suffering from B12 deficiency and symptoms for 8 years ago ( this happened when I was 27 years from diet, hard work). I have not taken any injection during these years. I was taking tablets Methycobalamin every day, 1 dose every 8 hours in day and many times had forgotten it then take it every 24 hours , each dose has 500mg. It was Ok for me, it eliminates symptoms. Now, my B12 result is 464 pg \ml ( the normal range is 212 - 950 pg\ ml according to lab paper). But, if I have not taken tablet Methycobal for 10 days , the symptoms will turn back.

I have read that Methylcobalamin can be higher in the blood, but it doesn’t treat B12 deficiency, while Cyanocobalamin can treat.

Many Thanks,

Shalan
