If B12 cannot be boosted by diet, can folate tablets be absorbed by the body?
I have B12 def and it is believed to be caused by long term use of metformin. It seems my body cannot get the required B12 from diet, so I have injections. But I've seen on forums that B12 is not effective without folate or folic acid. I have no prescription for these. If I buy and swallow tablets

Antagonist protocol and metformin
Hi all! Had our first ever IVF consultation today and was told I'll be on the antagonist protocol which is a short one, about 2 weeks. Never heard of it - have any of you been on this? It's to stop ovulation. I've also got to pay for a prescription of metformin, and take 3 tablets a day, until early

Diabetis 2
I hope that you can give some advise....my husband is type 2 diabetic, as you can imagine it is playing havoc with his health. He is taking Metformin which makes him feel ill most of the time( lethargic, bloating, upset stomach). I was wondering what enzymes could help him? Thank you in anticipation

Metformin & Xtandi Resistance.
New study below.

PCOD
I was recently diagnosed with PCOD. I did not find this out until my husband and I had been trying to conceive for 6 months and were unsuccessful. My periods were very irregular and occurring only every 3 months as well as other symptoms including excessive chin hair, acne, and a high testosterone level

Double dose by mistake!
I accidentally took my dose twice! I'm on 100 mcg Levothyroxine and took the pill an hour ago and then mindlessly took one more instead of my Metformin! Is this ok for just the once? I called my GP who said it wasn't dangerous for the one time. Anyone else ever do this and do you have anything to report

Metformin and Valproic Acid
New study below [1]. A sense of deja vu here, since 6-7 years ago I asked my GP for both drugs. He declined. I was able to get Metformin elsewhere, but not Valproic Acid. Valproic Acid is described as an anti-epileptic drug, which it is [2]. "
It also has histone deacetylase-inhibiting effects. The
