Yes, to get full benefit from B12 you also need good levels of folate.

For good information on B12 and folate you should post on the Pernicious Anaemia forum :

You should ask them about your future treatment for your B12 deficiency, and what you should be asking for and expecting from your doctor. Just giving you a few injections then forgetting all about it isn't a good plan!

Not what you're looking for?
