No I’ve been fine but I always use the pink (cherry flavoured ?) ones.

Thanks for your reply...I dont think it would make a difference on the flavours as the ingredients are the same i think...

The pink, cherry flavoured ones are 5000mcg B12, rather than 1000mcg B12.

High dose methyl-B12 gave me lots of spots too. I was taking 5000mcg B12 per day. Over time though, the problem faded away. It took about 3 months to build up to a maximum and then die away.

I still take high dose B12, just not every day of the week.

No, even taking 2 a day, though I didn't finish the bottle.

Not what you're looking for?
