Feroglobin B12 Sustained Release Caps 30

[Leahcollett3]

HI, IM FROM THE UK, IVE BEEN TOLD ON HERE THAT MY B12 IS LOW ( AT 390)

sorry about the caps, i was thinking of taking the above to help raise my levels, is this vitamin ok? i havent got too much money to spend on it you see so im hoping these are ok from holland and barrett

Leahcollett3 From what I can see from Vitabiotics website the ingredients in that are

Vitamin B6 5 mg

Folic Acid 400 µg

Vitamin B12 10 µg

Iron (as Fumarate) 17 mg

Zinc 12 mg

Copper 1000 µg

With that supplement you will be taking 17mg of iron, as your ferritin is 122 as per one of your previous posts then you don't need a supplement with iron in, your ferritin is in a pretty good place. It also contains B12 as cyanocobalamin which is the wrong form and it doesn't contain all the B vitamins needed. That particular supplement is not right for your needs.

What you do need is B12 methylcobalamin.

~Stick to the recommended supplement which Greygoose advised:

5000 mcg sublingual methylcobalamin daily for a few months, then lower to a maintenance dose of 1000 mcg. With that, take a B complex with at least 400 mcg methylfolate, and that will increase your folate, too.

You need Solgar or Jarrows sublingual methylcobalamin for your B12 and Thorne Basic B or Jarrows B Right for the B Complex.

sorry but before you start supplementing - who has advised you that your levels are low at 390? - are you symptomatic of a B12 deficiency?

Most people will be perfectly okay at 390 but the blood test doesn't tell the whole story so you need to look at symptoms.

You need sublingual methylcobalamin at much higher dose than in that product. I recommend Jarrow formulas 5000iu (from Amazon and use TUK's easy fundraising link to make some money for them)
