Manufacturer recommendations
I’ve just read and compared the manufacturer instructions for Hevert and Pascoe. Hevert - first few weeks 1ml (500mcg) twice weekly followed by 100mcg per month. Discard remaining b12 in ampoule. Pascoe initially 1500mcg twice weekly, also followed by monthly dose of 100mcg. So 1/15th of an ampoule

Metformin alternatives
Hi all,Can anyone tell me what the recommend alternative drug for type2 diabetes is, other than Metformin. I'm recently diagnosed T2 diabetic and doctor wants me to take Metformin. I understand it can block b12 absorption. Many thanks

Help with vitamins
My ferritin and B12 keep going down despite the fact that I take supplements. Since being diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, Coeliac and SIBO they were steadily going up - I got my ferritin from 2 to 75, but in the last year it’s gone down to 39. My B12 is at 318 and was almost 500 a year ago. Does anyone

Trial with new exercise method.
With injections of 1mg of both hydroxocabalamin and methyelcobalamin with 6mg of Adenocabalamin 4 times a day along with my oral supplements I was able to walk 5K four Saturdays in a row. I walked slow and had to stop on some of the hills of New Hampshire USA. Each time I was stopping less not reasonably

Hi, Can B12 levels fluctuate? I have been having a number of B12 related symptoms, took supplements and felt better. I stopped supplements on the 18th June & had 4 months clear of fortified cereal & so on to check if I have a deficiency. I did an active finger prick test & my level on the 14 September

B12 made symptoms go away
Hi. I had ME/CFS and it seemed to clear up 16 years later. About 3 years ago, I had fatigue, myclonic jerks especially while sleeping which woke me up and tremor feeling inside me. I took B12 sublingual for 2 or 3 weeks and the symptoms subsided. But then I stopped taking the B12 supplements and I have

Getting there, but slowly
More blood tests back now but still don't have all the figures. Serum immunoglobulins all normal Coeliac screen - negative Ferritin 197 (range 13-150) Transferrin saturation 38% (15-45) He's not happy about this even though it's "normal" Homocysteine - normal IFA - still negative Gastric parietal antibodies

Functional B12 deficiency
Hi, I have been around a long time and read every day. I have a hard time understanding what a functional deficiency mean. In my case just a few injections brought my MMA and homocysteine down very quickly. Is that a functional deficiency? Seems like I would understand this by now. I have never

Methylcobalamin vs Hydroxocobalamin ?
Does anyone else find they do better on methylcobalamin than hydroxocobalamin? I've done some major googling but not been able to find out much and would like to ask if anyone has had the same experience as me? I started SI for years with Methylcobalamin and was doing great. When stocks became impossible
