does everyone who uses methylB12 also use adenosylcobalamin as well with it

[JesusMercy60]

hello All,

so I was looking in to cyanocobalamin as I take methyl B12 for now and trying to decide if I want to try cyano, and I came across on healthline.com that if you take methyl B12 you should use adenosylcobalamin with it. I have been wondering if anyone on here uses both. also is taking a small dose of iron a good idea, I eat a hamburger a day and I inject EOD it's been 2 1/2 months so far. thank you for your comments. I was feeling chest tightening today with shortness of breath and I had not that in a long time so I took 3 mg of iron in case I am low.

Obviously I would say this ... but you don't need a hamburger for iron - if your stomach can handle something like lentils, it would be a much healthier choice. Enhance absorption with onions, garlic and orange vegetables like sweet potato, squash or carrot.

An iron panel is good to test if you suspect issues with iron. Usually best not to supplement iron in significant doses unless you have an iron deficiency. 3mg is a small amount but if you're deficient it won't help that much, best to check if concerned.

3mg won't make much difference. Even a Spartone sachet has 5mg .

A multivit about 14mg

Solgar gentle iron 20mg .

Anything higher than that get medical advice .

Get ferritin and iron levels tested .

Maintenence of vits and minerals often needed daily .

Whether it's beef or lentils you may simply be unable to absorb enough from food.

I eat well and am well informed of heame and non heame iron.

I need iron supplements whatever I eat .

Only since b12 deficiency and on regular b12 Injections .

No history or indeed need before that despite pregnancies and a very low meat diet.

A good diet .

I've just stopped absorbing what I need since the menopause .

My sister the same.

Healthy on a vegetarian diet for over 40 yesrs .

Then B12 deficient.

Diet not changed.

Body has .

Post menopause.

Hers dietary so easily remedied by daily supplements of oral B12 .

She never misses now as frightened by what happened to me.

well thank you nackapan and technoid,

yes I'm also postmenopausal and I'm sure with my stomach and gastritis i'm not absorbing much. I have to get blood work tomorrow am so that does include a cbc test. my dr. will only do cbc not ferratin test I've asked her and she said she can see enough with a cbc test. but I will get that done in the morning. and I wish I could handle a lot of vegies, that was my favorite before all this started and I get loose bowels if I eat too many vegies, I do eat sweet potatoes and I get lentils sometimes but I wish I could handle more.

have you ever heard of anyone needing to take adenosylcobalomin with methy b12?

[wedgewood in reply to JesusMercy60]

I know that Dr Hugo Minney who coauthored Dr Chancys book and who leads the B12d org site Injects Methylcobalamin and takes Adenosylcobalamin capsules

.

[JesusMercy60 in reply to wedgewood]

hello,

well I wonder if it's ok to just take methyl b12 it seems to be working, I maybe should look into the pills, but do they work with PA being oral.

[wedgewood in reply to JesusMercy60]

I would say that they wouldn’t work for a P.A. patient . Methylcobalamin injections work very well for some patients . But we are all different . I found that they worked no better for me than Hydroxocobalamin. I have P.A. ( Positive Intrinsic Factor Antibodies Test)

[Technoid in reply to JesusMercy60]

Fair enough. Take it slowly with increasing the fibre as your gut recovers

I have methyl injections and have adeno tablets. I’m also taking heme iron, by Three arrows, which are amazing as it doesn’t make me constipated

If it is a possibility that the chest tightening and shortness of breath could be a heart problem, I hope you will see your doctor. Or could it be asthma?

[JesusMercy60 in reply to Hockey_player]

hello Hockey Player,

thank you for your reply well today I went to get my blood work done at labcorp. I havn't had that shortness of breath and chest today yet so hopefully it doesn't come back. I do have a valve that does not close all the way and I was told last year of diastolic dysfunction but that was all the cardio Dr said. otherwise he said I did not need to go back. I will see how my iron is doing this weekend, MMA homosistein as well as cbc with a couple of others. I'm still new with the injections so it may be just all that's going on inside of me healing.
