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

All types of oral b12 treat b12 dietary deficiency. As you can absorb them just choose the type that suits you.
