Do people take b12 1000ug & iron + b complex or multivitamins & minerals?

Just that I don’t want to over does with supplements?

It’s not a good idea to take supplements like iron unless you’ve. had your bloods tested and it shows a deficiency and even then I would suggest only under your gps guidance.I only supplement now with what I know for sure I’m deficient in,I’d get tested first if I was you.,best of luck x

Thanks Thrones, yes the iron level was low and the gp has prescribed iron supplements but just that I don’t know if b complex or multivitamins & minerals should be taken as another additional supplement.

No don’t take anything containing iron if gp is already supplementing it’s very dangerous.

I personally take d3/k2 we should all do that in the winter months anyway as advised by nhs etc.I also take folic acid ,only 400 as a maintence dose,as my levels go very low and I can’t get via food because of absorption issues with p.a.I wouldn't supplement anything else unless tested first then you’ll know which levels need topped up because things like iron ,potassium etc can be dangerous to fiddle with.Best of luck xx

Hi

The B-12 in the Multivitamins, I don't think is any good, if you have PA, I have now instead of the nurse giving an injection have to take B-12 pills, I also take multivitamins & minerals, also now a Vitamin D 1000ug.
